Long Wknd Nite Hike. Stunning 7kms Taronga Zoo to Balmoral Beach Hike! Beer too!

A few months back we hiked Coogee to Bondi at nite, then this hike - it was really, really cool. Beer before... and (meal) after. Love it - it's a different kind of energy when you hike in the evening. Just posting this on Wednesday - let's see if we can get 8-10 hikers for Friday :) High of 21 degrees too - perfect! Let's hike post-sunset Taronga Zoo towards Balmoral Beach while talking shit and licking our beautiful city then head up to the lovely Buena Hotel in Mosman (one of my favourite Lower North Shore pubs) for a great pub meal. ***Taronga to Balmoral***. It’s an Aussie fahkin' beauty of a due to its diversity… Of course the ***ferry ride from CQuay to Taronga (ferry leaves at 545pm - be early*** is amazing, and the first stint of the walk transports you to another part of Australia – it’s a rainforest start to ***Bradley’s Head*** with perfect views of ***Sydney Opera House / Harbour Bridge***. Turning the corner we’ll stop at a secluded beach then carry on to ***Taylor’s Bay*** – the greenery / plant life there will amaze all. [NOTE: YOU MUST JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP FOR THIS EVENT HERE.](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DFaK1MR9dKB8F3bqWCoint) From there the walk heads to ***Chowder Bay***, one of the coolest little beaches that not many Sydneysiders know of. There’s a café / bathroom stop there, then up the only real incline to ***George’s Head***: a historic military spot with the most picture perfect view from Manly to the CBD. We head back into the bush for a 15min walk to the ***Balmoral Stairs*** that will guide us down to Balmoral Beach. ***(SAFETY NOTE: I'm recommending a head lamp if you don't have one, but "I'll just use my mobile phone's light" was sufficient last time. For safety get to KMart... they are $10)*** Post-food / drinks you have many transport options from Balmoral Beach / The Buena to get back home or to Wynyard. I'll guide you. Oh, stay tuned for location to meet at 430pm. I'll be at a pub from 5pm around Circular Quay warming up... join from 5pm-530pm then we'll walk to the ferry wharf as a team.

Hanging Rock, Blue Mountains

**Ya know what’s well hung? Rocco Siffreddi. Florida. And Hanging Rock.** One is in Italy. The other the USA. And the last that’s the shining star in this event just 1.5hrs from Sydney? The Blue Mountains. Hanging Rock looks crazy. Looks fun. Looks like we should check it out. NOTE. This is only a “I’m interested in this adventure” at this stage. The event is not on a Wednesday - it's just to gauge interest. We'll plan it / we’ll do this event with no more than 20 hikers. And of course... with a beer to "Cheers" at the end.

Stunnnnning Minnamurra Beach to Kiama Beach, Blowhole Coastal Hike (and pub)!!!

**THIS HIKE IS GLORIOUS...** what a surprise when we (impromptu) stayed overnite as the Kiama to Gerringong hike was planned for a Saturday, and just like that, a Friday session Minnamurra to Kiama came to be. Now it's the long weekend! It's a perfect Saturday for some proper adventure... whales are coming south through October, and this is a great hike to spot a few! **Minnamurra Station to Kiama Blowhole Hike** **is 12kms...** The train arrives directly from Central to Minnamurra, though jump in our group chat - rides in cars will be available and drivers we will look after you (let's all meet at Sutherland Station 930am - maybe Waterfall [next one down] is easier). We'll hike. We'll do pub food, drinks in Kiama. **THE HIKE.** The highlights are unforgettable. **Minnamurra Lagoon**, and the climb to **Minnamurra Whale Lookout**. Stunning! **Cathedral Rocks** and **The Boneyard**... WOW. Then **Bombo Headland & Quarry**. Onto **Bombo Beach and Kiama Rocky Headland & Ocean Pool**... what a finish into lovely Kiama and **Kiama Blowhole (the largest natural one in the world)**. From there?

**It's getting hot, it's that time of the year! Gelato time!** **We will stop at a minimum of 4 gelaterias, among the best Sydney has to offer.** **If you love gelato, this is the walk for you! Not only do you get to have as much as you want, but you get to use up the calories by walking them off.** **We will start at Milson’s Point at 9.30am.** **From here we will walk across the Harbour Bridge and around the coastline to Barangaroo, where we find our first stop, Rivarino Gelateria (I will think there is something drastically wrong with you if you don’t try and like their gelato).** **There is also an alternative near-by, Anita's Gelateria.** **From here we will head to the Fish Markets for Cow and the Moon Gelateria where we will stop for a 30 minute lunch. You can bring your own food, but why do that when you can have even more gelato!** **From here we will go to Tramsheds where there is Gelato Messina and then (if we are able to) we will walk through some parks in Annadale to Norton Street in Leichhardt at our final stop, Bar Italia or Lunetta Gelateria.** **Each gelateria stop will be around 15 mins (depending on the cues) and there is no obligation to have a gelato at every stop (although you will need to have at least one during the day).** **A bus from from here will take us back to the city.** **No problem if you are lactose intolerant, discreet “fluffing” is not encouraged but allowed as long as no one complains about you on the day!** **We will aim to finish without a feeling of overindulgence or indigestion by 3.30pm.** **\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*** **DISTANCE: About 16 km, pretty flat.** **GRADE: Medium, mainly because of the distance (I could have made it shorter but we have to burn the calories gained from the gelatos somehow).** **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.
