(SH Tuesday Walks) Michael B |
  (Fully Booked) (Date Changed) We have an opportunity to explore some of the best of the North Shore of Sydney Harbour.
Starting at Balmoral Beach with its little jetty and huge fig trees; to Middle Head to explore fortifications and cliff top views beyond the Heads; then through angophora trees to Georges Heights and barracks converted to artist studios; and on to Clifton Gardens for lunch. Then we will walk beside secluded bays to the navy memorials at Bradley’s Head. Then it is a short walk to Taronga Zoo for a Ferry to Circular Quay and trains home.
It all starts by boarding the first carriage on the Southern Highlands to Wynyard. A bus or taxis to Balmoral beach. After coffee we shall start our walk at about 10:30 am.
It takes about 4 hours and 45 mins including lunch and many stops along the way (but not for cafes or a swim). See what Arthur Streeton saw when he did some of his finest work.
- See the lizards, lorikeets, wrens and bush turkeys.
- Listen to the currawongs. Hear the waves, lapping at the shore.
- Enter the fortifications where microbats now live. Location: City of Sydney Limit: 20.

Bob Turners track to the Colo River and return |

    The Bob Turners track is probably the easiest route down to the mighty Colo River and where it meets this superb watercourse is an enormous pool which is perfect for a swim on a hot Summers day. But wait theres more! Bring along you're flotation device such as a surfmat or donut and we will float down the river, shoot the odd cascade before we return and eventually climb back up the way we came. A wonderful way to spend an Australia Day weekend. rock hopping Location: Wollemi NP Map: Colo Heights 90313N Limit: 12.
