Walk | A bushwalk of any kind short or longFirst time friendly | A trip that is perfect for most new members (assuming you have a reasonable level of fitness)Photography | A trip that has a strong focus on encouraging people to capture photographs.Public Transport | There are public transport options to and from this activity.(NEW!!!) Enjoy this cooler walk with some spectacular views of Sydney Harbour. The exact route will depend on the weather, but the plan is to visit Camp Cove where the First Fleet sheltered before sailing up the harbour on Australia Day, then to South Head before returning and walking via Parsley Bay to Nielson Park. Lunch may be purchased at the Kiosk there or you might like to have a short swim in the netted pool. After which we follow the scenic Hermitage Foreshore track around to Rose Bay for the bus or ferry home. Booking is essential, giving your NPA, mobile and emergency contact numbers unless I already have them. Hazards: Some street and beach walking and a number of stairs in places.
