At the end of 2018, six city councils along with other agencies, decided to create a coastal and harbour-side walking track between two famous beaches in Sydney, Bondi Beach and Manly Beach. The result of this collaboration is the epic 80km Bondi to Manly Walk. The details can be found on www.bonditomanly.com or the B2M app. We will walk the Bondi to Manly Walk in seven stages together, walking one stage at a time on the first Tuesday of the month from June to December.

In October, we will do the fifth leg of Bondi to Manly Walk from Taronga Zoo Wharf to Spit Bridge. The walk is approximately 12km with an elevation gain of 214m. The walk will take around 3 hours to complete.

Starting off at Taronga Zoo, we will continue walking around to Bradleys Head and then on to Georges Head and Middle Head; where we will find some of Sydney’s oldest defence systems of gun batteries and tunnels, dating back to the 19th century. Continuing from Middle Head, we will reach Balmoral Oval and Balmoral Beach where we can explore the various historical parts of the popular beach, such as the old tram sheds, the Rotunda and Rocky Point Island. From Balmoral, we will pass Chinamans Beach and Rosherville Reserve, located along Parriwi Head and then we will finally reach the Spit Bridge. (Excerpts from www.bonditomanly.com).

More details will be sent to members who are participating closer to the event date.
