The Spit Bridge to Manly walk was indeed an iconic walk. We started at Spit Reserve Park, which is this really pretty park situated on a small peninsula jutting out into the harbor. The path wound through pretty forest and there were several quiet beaches along the way. There were a few lookout points along the walk that had fantastic sweeping views of the harbor! There were two sizable waterfalls, and we saw a few water dragons basking on rocks too! The weather was really nice too, it wasn’t too hot or too cold, and there was lots of sunshine! The walk had lots of little on-and-off inclines, and a surprising amount of stairs. Also, there…

The walk today was supposed to be walking from Spit bridge to Manly, but when I checked the weather forecast a few hours before the walk, all the weather sites said that there would be a thunderstorm at precisely the time the walk was supposed to be. Since not a lot of people signed up for the walk, and the thunderstorm was due to pass in a few hours, I thought maybe I could give rescheduling a go. Since I…

This was another Figure 8 Walk that got afected by the curse which seems so often to visit these trips there. This time it had nothing to do with the sea or safe access; infact it was the easiest access there I had ever done. No, it was an indirect result of the COVID19 Pandemic. Read on…….

The new Wulugul walk was very spacious and had scenic harbor views. Later on the walk we passed right under the Harbor Bridge and got an unobstructed view of the Opera house. At the beginning of the walk, me and Zoe channeled our inner child and climbed on the big climbing structure that Darling Harbor has, which was super fun! The route: We met at Sushi Hub outside Central Station, then walked to Darling Harbor, across the Pyrmont Bridge, to the newly finished Wulugul walk, Barangaroo reserve, right under the Harbor Bridge, to the Opera house, and then finished at Circular Quay. The walk…

Centennial Park was a really awesome walk. Centennial Park was very spacious and peaceful, with lots of big trees, huge grassy fields and some animal sounds in the air. John mostly lead the way because he had been to Centennial Park before, and we saw a bunch of cool stuff! We had turtles, giant carp, and a bunch of geese come over to us when we walked over to the side of a pond! In another pond we saw black swans as well. The ponds…

The ocean was really pretty today. It was really rough so there were a lot of whitecaps, there were so many waves that it turned the water light blue in some places, and in some places there was a lot of dramatic sea spray when the waves hit the cliffs. The walk I think was more scenic than the Bondi to Coogee walk as well, because the rocky cliffs were more dramatic and it had a less urbanized feel to it. Along the…

The route: We met at the Bondi LIfeguard Tower building on Bondi Beach, and then walked from Bondi Beach along the paved path that hugs the coastline to Coogee Beach. We ended up accidentally running into dead ends twice, but it didn’t take long at all for us to realize they were dead ends, so we didn’t need to spend a long time backtracking. At around…
