Walk along Mike Turtur Bikeway - 2014 July 27

We took our dog for a walk along the Mike Turtur Bikeway from Glenelg to where it hits Cross Road.  A very enjoyable walk that traverses along the tramway and along the way there are some very cool "action-inspired sculptural figures" by Greg Healey & Gregg Mitchell (according to the council info).

Here are some of the sculptures that we found along the way.

Starting off at Glenelg near Brighton Road we came across this Giraffe.


 
Along the way, there were "people" made of "bike chain". Very cleverly done.
Just out walking their dog
On the footpath you can see horseshoes marks from "horses running past"
out the front of the Morphettville Race Course.  A nice touch, I think
 
Red is taking a stretch
Green showing its stretching style too
My favourite one, sitting watching the people pass by

More walking the dog up by Cross Road.
Can the real dog please sit?

Letting the sculptures take our Foxhound, Murphy for a short walk
Back at the Brighton Road end they have put up this public bike work station.
Complete with pump, stand and work tools.  Great idea.

The bikeway goes all the way from Glenelg to Adelaide.
Worth a walk or ride.
