I visited the High Line in New York for the first time in summer last year and it was top of my list of things to do when I was back in town earlier this month. This rambling walkway park is made from a disused rail line and runs from Chelsea to Meatpacking.
Its historical past is beautifully evident in the old tracks and planting design which mimics the self-seeded landscape which once covered the unused tracks.
Sydney recently proposed its own version of the High Line, which they’ve called the Goods Line. Hopefully we get to see it get made.
