We meet near the Library at Green Square and walk to Waterloo Metro Station. This area has undergone amazing changes since colonisation. There are numerous story boards detailing many of these . We visit OZHarvest off Waterloo street and have the option to purchase lunch or at least coffee at their cafe. At Waterloo Metro, members have the option of finishing and heading home OR taking the Metro to Central and using the Airport line to Wolli Creek. There is a walk/cycle track from Wolli Creek to T1 Departure level at KSA. There are other coffee and eating opportunities at KSA. Some may like to spend time plane spotting before heading home either by retracing steps to Wolli Creek or catching the Airport Shuttle Bus to the Domestic Terminal and then a Metro Bus to Mascot Station. Some may choose to use the International Airport Station to return to Central and beyond. The station access fee is about $18 with a Gold Opal Card. Using Wolli Creek avoids that fee. Distance: varies depending on options chosen: 5km to about 12 Km. Grade: 2 - with minor climbs and descents. Walking is on footpaths and walk/cycle paths. Either bring food or purchase. Do carry water and avoid dehydration. Don't drink too much water however.
