Hi Bobert,

Here in Newcastle, New South Wales, Oz Newcastle City Council has done a lot of work to make the local creek which leads into the river mouth & harbour, into a nice place for a walk with bicycle or wheelchair access as well. They have done up what they call The Foreshore on the Harbour and cleaned up the creek and put a cycleway/walkway along it. You can look up the Council website and cruise around it looking for images.

You can do image searches on Google for

"Throsby Creek" Newcastle Australia

e.g.   Throsby Creek - just down the road from where I live

or for

Foreshore Newcastle Australia

This whole project has totally changed the way the CBD (central business district) of Newcastle looks as well as the inner suburb I live in now and the one I moved from a few years ago, across Throsby Creek.

There are some local walks listed here
Newcastle Tourism Walks

Honeysuckle Dev't Corp - commercial venture doing a lot of buildings, redevelopment etc

I'll see what else I can find.

I used to be involved in Main Street programmes firstly as a Council Main Street Coordinator, and then as the local Coordinator working with a Main Street Committee.
