RSVP and head torch are a MUST. This is Sydney’s premier coastal walk, taking us through the world’s second oldest national park, the
magnificent Royal National Park. Our starting point is the village of Otford, at the southern end of the RNP. Our aim is to arrive in Bundeena by about 8:15am, to ensure we catch the first ferry of the day, the 9am service to Cronulla.
Type of walk: This is a full night time adventure filled with great natural beauty, coastal tracks, a rich
diversity of pristine eco-systems and abandoned beaches. There are some moderate climbs.
Difficulty: Hard, because of the distance and as we must concentrate for the night walking. We will be winding through forest, up and down headlands and crossing long beaches. A good level of
fitness is definitely required.
There are No get out points for this walk. If you attend you must finish the entire walk. Transport back is by ferry across Port Hacking to Cronulla Railway Station for the 45 minute service back to the city. All transport is Opal Card, except the ferry.

Clean up day |

Branch |
General Community Event |
Yuri Bolotin is organising another clean-up day - this one is in Bilpin, the village where they live, for the Wollemi Wilderness Cabins.
This place, one of Bilpin's tourist attractions, has sustained extensive damage during the fires, with most of its grounds severely burnt. We are trying to help them to restore as quickly as possible, to bring people back to Bilpin and to the rest of the Blue Mountains.
You are invited to join Yuri to spend a day as a volunteer to help clean up after the fires. There is much to do and only very limited resources. We will be guided by Lionel Buckett, who runs the Wollemi Wilderness Cabins.
No special skills are required. You need to bring a good spirit, an open mind and a pair of hands.
Note this is not a club activity. Everyone volunteers on their own accord.
Please let Yuri know if you would like to join him, and he will get back to you with the logistics.
You can see Lionel's place here, before the fires: www.wollemicabins.com.au
