Past adventure.
UPDATE ALERTS
- For those meeting Nick at Circular Quay, we are taking the 8:15am ferry from Wharf 4. I suggest you arrive around 8:15am’ish. It’s an hourly service only so we can’t miss this one.
- Fyi, the City to Surf Fun Run is also on this Sunday so public transport to and around the city will be busy. Plan accordingly.
- Bring your poles. There will be a few slippery and wet bits. Fear not, there is also a lot of paved sections.
ADVENTURE DETAILS
A one way walk with two parts & two goals …
- Part 1: A regular walk from Kurraba Point to Balmoral Beach roughly following the Bondi to Manly route. Includes the new NPWS “Middle Head – Gubbuh Gubbuh to Georges Head Track”.
- Part 2: A continuation onto Beauty Point for those in training for the Goldfields Track MDA9.
Join for the first part only, or test yourself and go the distance. Let me know in your registration comments.
Bring snacks and lunch to consume on the journey.
SHORT COURSE OPTIONS
It is a long walk, but there are many convenient points to check out along the way if it’s too long for you. Here’s some examples with approx distances and durations …

GETTING THERE & BACK
A day to use public transport … so bring your Opal, and do some research. We start at Kurraba Point Wharf (ferry from Circular Quay) and ideally finish at either Balmoral Beach (bus options, such as bus 114 to Crows Nest Metro), or Beauty Point (bus options too, good one bus 144 to Crows Nest Metro, or Manly).
Public transport between the two end options and the start are not convenient.
If you’re coming some other way, tap the Meetup Point button below for directions on Google Maps for Kurraba Point Ferry Wharf.
I’m planning to take the F3 ferry from Circular Quay at 8:25am, wharf 4. If you want to join me let me know and I’ll keep an eye out for you.
