EDITION 20
Local Insights:
Throsby Precinct
A precinct built around the creek – rowers out at first light, walkers and cyclists getting a start on exercise or the commute to work. As the evenings stay lighter, the same track fills again with commuters, dog walkers and a pre-dinner crowd.
MUST VISIT
An Apple A Day,
173 Maitland Rd, Tighes Hill
An Apple A Day makes the weekly shop something to look forward to. What began as a backyard produce collective is now a Maitland Road wholefoods grocer — seasonal fruit and veg boxes, local pantry staples and a growing deli, available in store, online, delivered or by subscription.
