**Most of us have done the Taronga Zoo to Manly Walk or some version of it, right? How about a walk just as good, but different?** **We will meet at Circular Quay Wharf 3 in time to catch the 9.30am ferry. If you prefer to go straight to Manly, please be outside Max Brenner at Manly Wharf no later than 10am (ferry arrives at 9.52am). Please be on time.** **From here we will walk along the coast to Little Manly Cove and then make our way to North Head in the Sydney Harbour National Park.** **Part of this walk is along a 6-foot stone wall built to segregate the military area (no longer under military control) from the rest of the peninsula. This can get muddy so wear appropriate shoes.** **Then we will make our way to Sydney’s Q Station where people were quarantined. We will visit the Third Class Precinct, Hospital Precinct and Wharf Precinct where we will have a break and visit the small museum (there is a beach here for those that want to take a dip).** **We will then climb 250 steps to reach the Former First Class Precinct and wonder around before heading out.** **Although there are no guarantees, there is very little chance of being infected by anything serious (so they told me).** **From here, we will head to the North Fort Precinct along the Sanctuary Loop, a walking track that points out all the wildflowers along the way, and we will do the Fairfax Walk where we will spend time at the Burragula and Yiningma Lookouts, with glorious views of South Head and the city skyline. We will have lunch here.** **After lunch, we will complete the Sanctuary Loop, visit the Barracks Precinct and make our way back to Manly via Shelly Beach.** **As is customary with my walks where possible, there will be the opportunity for a gelato at The Corso (Anita Gelato is my recommendation, but there is also Messina’s and others, as well as ice-cream at Ben & Jerry’s and Copenhagen, and a number of frozen yogurt shops).** **We will aim to finish at around 3.30pm.** **\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*** **DISTANCE: About 16 km.** **GRADE: Medium, a few hills but nothing too strenuous.** **NOTE: Plenty of get-out points, just let the Host know if you leave the walk.** **IMPORTANT INFORMATION:** · **Be Prepared: Wear comfortable walking shoes, bring water (refill points available), and dress for the weather.** · **Follow Instructions: Please follow the instructions of the Host at all times and keep the Host within sight** · **RSVP Responsibly and Be Ontime at the Designated Meeting Point: Update your RSVP if you can’t make it.** **GRATUITY: $10 applies to this event which can be paid in cash on the day or PayID is 0439 344987 Cristian Sylvestre.** **\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*** **DISCLAIMER: Your health and safety is our priority and we take care to minimize risk and avoid accidents and injuries.** **However, Organizers and Hosts are not responsible for your health and safety and do not accept any liability for accidents and injuries that may occur during Meetup activities and events. Please take responsibility for your own safety and belongings.** **By RSVPing to this event you and your guests agree to comply with the terms and conditions of the Aussie Explorers Meetup group which can be found in the link below:** **[https://www.meetup.com/Aussie-Explorers](https://www.meetup.com/Aussie-Explorers/pages/28346396/Terms_and_Conditions_of_joining_Aussie_Explorers)** **\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*** **Any questions or concerns, please send me a TEXT message (0439 344 987) rather than unnecessary updates on the comments section.**

Frequently asked questions

Meetup enables you to find and join groups and events centered around coastal walks in Sydney. You can connect with others who enjoy hiking along Sydney’s beautiful shores and attend various walking events to explore the great outdoors together.

Simply search on Meetup for coastal walking groups within Sydney. You can browse scheduled events and see different meetups specifically designed around enjoying Sydney’s coastline and meeting local walkers.

Absolutely! Many Meetup groups cater to walkers of all skill levels, including beginners. You can find events specifically advertised as beginner-friendly, providing a great opportunity for everyone to enjoy the path along the coastal gems of Sydney.

Generally, comfortable walking shoes and suitable clothing for the weather are sufficient for most coastal walks. Specific Meetup events may have additional requirements which will typically be mentioned in their event notes.

It's a good idea to bring water, sunscreen, a hat, and perhaps some snacks. Always check the event details on Meetup for any specific recommendations or requirements listed by the group organizer.

Yes, you can check Meetup for upcoming coastal walk events in Sydney this weekend. Filter events by dates to easily find what's happening soon so you can RSVP and join the adventure.

Local Meetup groups organize coastal walk events based on common interest in exploring Sydney’s coastline. They create events with details about the trail, duration, and any tips regarding the walk to ensure attendees have a good experience.

Certainly, once you’ve joined or created a group, you can propose and organize events for fellow hikers. This includes setting a route and serving as a guide during the walk.

Joining Meetup itself is free, and many coastal walk events organized by groups may also be free. If there is any fee involved for an event, it should be stated clearly in the meetup details.

Not every coastal walk event has a dedicated guide. Some might be casual gatherings where members decide collectively which paths to take. Always check the event notes for guidance details.

Meetup provides the platform for organizing events but cannot guarantee individual enjoyment. Satisfaction often depends on personal preferences and active participation. However, information on Meetup can help you choose events that match your interests.

There may be groups specifically interested in sunset coastal walks in Sydney. Checking Meetup’s event descriptions can help identify ones focusing on sunset timings.

New events are created as organizers propose activities. The frequency varies, but checking Meetup regularly ensures you won’t miss out on new hikes as they’re posted.

Occasionally, events can be altered or canceled due to weather or other conditions. Organizers usually update the event page and notify RSVPed members in such cases.

Meetup facilitates connections with like-minded individuals. While it can't guarantee friendships, attending events regularly increases chances of meeting those who share a passion for coastal walks.
