Leader: Ros Freeman
Ros is amazingly dedicated! She will arrive Sydney at 7 am on the day, after a 17 hour flight. Yet she’s still committed to leading the walk. To make sure the walk goes ahead, she has also prepared a back up in case her flight is delayed. David Trevena has gracefully accepted the challenge at short notice. This would be his first time leading for NPA, although he is an experienced walker and a long time NPA member. This walk contains beach walking, hills, steps and possible nudity Limit: 15.

 LEADER: Heather Lakiss: RSVP direct to heatherlakiss@gmail.com
Artarmon to North Sydney walk. This is the report from a previous walk: Immediately upon exiting Artarmon Station a bush track hugged the railway line and led to a clearing where gigantic carved gumnuts idly lay. At Hallstrom park beautiful sandstone sculptures of animals paid homage to Hallstrom’s involvement in Taronga Zoo. Nearby Walter Burley Griffin’s Incinerator had been recycled - into a cafe and a gallery. Heather recited poetry at Henry Lawson’s Cafe before we continued to Tunks Park for morning tea. A delightful finale was St. Thomas Rest Park, an historic cemetery. St. Leonards Park for lunch then home via the Metro. Limit: 10.
