BRINGING MATTERS TO A (SOUTH) HEAD ON FATHERS DAY

VAUCLUSE TO WATSONS BAY.

Following on from last week, we meet in the car park in Greycliffe Ave Vaucluse at 8am. 

This 7km walk takes us along the coast (as much as possible) to Watsons Bay, past some spectacular beaches, glorious views of the Heads and some Sydney history from WW2.

The pics speak louder than words...............

I will post some walks for the coming weeks in the next few days, and circulate email addresses and phone numbers. Perhaps the best idea is to contact others if you intend walking, or just make sure you are on time for the rendezvous and see who turns up.

SPARKLING SYDNEY HARBOUR.......AGAIN.

ROSE BAY TO NIELSON PARK

Steve's choice this week, continuing along the eastern harbour shoreline. 

We shall start where we left off last Sunday - Rose Bay Ferry Wharf. Park on the street and meet at 8am. 

This walk takes us along the very interesting shoreline with some wonderful views. We pass an old gun emplacement, Strickland House and finish up at Nielson Park, where we will have coffee before taking the bus back to the ferry wharf. Make sure you have your bus fare with you, tied in the corner of your hanky.

The forecast is great so it should be another glistening day by the water.

BTW Jane and Roger said Redleaf was fab last Sunday, maybe keep that in mind for future visits.

BACK TO DOUBLE ROSE

Finally!

The City to Surf put a stop to the planned route from Double Bay to Rose Bay, so we are heading there this Sunday. See the post from Aug 4th for details, meet at Double Bay Ferry Wharf at 8am and bring your money for a coffee and Ferry Ride.

Looking forward to catching up as it seems like ages since we did.

BTW if you are in the Woolwich area, take a look at harboursculpture at Clarkes Point and the Deckhouse, where you walked a few weekends ago http://harboursculpture.com/

See you soon,

OH NO - NOT CITY TO SURF!!!!

FLAT ROCK GULLY REVISITED

Sunday 11 August is City to Surf (thought it was last week when we were out of Sydney)!
It makes heaps of sense then, to avoid 'Double Rose'.

So instead we will check on the late Winter glories of Flat Rock Gully. This was a popular walk in Spring 2012, so we'll meet at the Shell service station on Miller Street in Cammeray (plenty of free parking on Miller Street or the council car park behind the shops).

We'll head over to Naremburn and then down under the Gore Hill Freeway, into Flat Rock Gully and up the other side to a well-deserved coffee at Maggios. A hill or two, a bush track and maybe some stairs for the challenge - all good fun.

Looking forward to seeing you there at 8am.
Steve

DOUBLE ROSE

FURTHER EAST............

Steve is blazing a trail eastward this Sunday. An 8km walk from Double Bay to Rose Bay, then a ferry ride after coffee, sounds mighty good.

Meet at Double Bay ferry wharf, Bay Street at 8am. On street parking is free on Sunday. The ferry leaves at 10.15am from Rose Bay so that should leave plenty of time for a coffee at Rose Bay and an explore along the way.

I will be MIA this Sunday( a quilt trip to Brisbane :-)), and am sorry to be missing such an interesting walk. Have fun, and please either comment or SMS if you are coming, if you don't have Steve's phone number, let me know.

Cheers,
B.
