Walk | A bushwalk of any kind short or longPublic Transport | There are public transport options to and from this activity.(Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) Co-leader: Judy Morgan. We will walk from Parramatta to Shoalhaven Heads in sections. This week we walk from   Bondi Beach to Coogee and ends at Maroubra Beach. This is an absolute must-do in Sydney. While the Bondi to Coogee coastal path is more about stunning beaches and dramatic coastline, the Coogee to Maroubra coastal walk rocks – literally. It’s all about the rock pools and cool rock formations along the way. Swimming opportunity.
