The Walk to School

When you got to the top of our hill but before the golf course the road took a dogleg. All the way to school a kilometre away the road ran along a ridge; the houses and the footpath were on the north side, the wild bush golf tracks terracing steeply down to Middle Harbour. There were so many areas of bush that you could hide and get lost in on the walk to school. I would leave early to give myself time for scrambling, and sitting.
