Due to great popularity I will host this iconic walk again, on Saturday 4 October. This is Sydney's premier coastal walk, taking us through the World's second oldest national park, the magnificent Royal National Park, Sydney! And we are doing it in springtime!
Our starting point is the village of Otford, at the southern end of the RNP.
Our train leaves Central Station Platform 25 at 8.29AM. We will meet (space permitting) in the second last carriage, upper deck. As Otford has a short platform, please be sure to travel in one of the last 4 carriages. We arrive at Otford Station at 9.29AM.
From Otford Station we have a steep climb out of Otford Valley, to the RNP entrance, at Otford Lookout. Our first stop will be about 2.5 hours in, for a 20 minute break at Garie Beach. From there we push on to Wattamolla Beach, another 2.5 hours walk, where we will have a late lunch and break for about 40 minutes. From Wattamolla, it’s another solid 2.5 hours walk to Bundeena where we can catch the Ferry across Port Hacking to Cronulla railway station. The Ferry runs every hour on the hour up to last departure at 7PM. We are aiming to make Bundeena in time for the 6PM Ferry.
Though the Garie Beach Kiosk may be open on the day, you should bring Garie Beach snacks and a Wattamolla Beach lunch with you. A 1 liter bottle of water is fine; there are refill taps at Garie and Wattamolla.
The total walk distance is about 29km. We are winding through forest, up and down headlands and crossing long beaches all day. This is a hard walk, with the RNP website recommending 2 days for this walk and suggesting “super fitness” is required to do it in one day. A good level of fitness is certainly required.
Please remember once you start this walk there are no “get-out” points! It’s a big day, but a walk that you will never forget! Remember to bring a hat with a good brim, or a cap. And plenty of sunscreen!
For those who would like to eat at Cronulla afterwards, there are many options near Cronulla Train Station. The beautiful Cronulla waterfront is just a 5 minute stroll away!

Good Morning Everyone.
May I please again ask everyone to consider your RSVP's for this event, and just change it to "Not Coming" if you are unable to attend.
Looks like the dry weather will hold through the weekend, so we anticipate perfect conditions for this walk!
Cheers,
Ted

Hi All, I am planning to drive. Is there anyone else planning to drive? If you do, we can both drive to Bundena, park my car there and I get a ride from you from Bundena to Otford. At the end of the walk I can take you to Otford to get your car. Also, I am happy to take additional 2 passengers if I can arrange the above car shuttle.

Hi All,
Just five sleeps before our epic walk through the RNP!
May I please ask that everyone consider their RSVP and make any changes early in the week. We have a wait list. Please also remember there are no 'get-out' options once we start this walk.
The weather forecast looks fine at this stage and we will be proceeding even if it rains. I suggest that everyone bring the correct change for the ferry fare, which is $6.40. The Bundeena-Cronulla ferry is a very cute boat but, alas, it has no Opal Card option! Cheers,
Ted

20 settembre
Just a reminder to the group to please manage your RSVPs. If U cannot make the day please change your RSVP to "No". We have a wait list, which will grow. Thanks! Ted.

Please see Andrew's comment below. (Thanks, Andrew). City Rail has confirmed trackwork affecting both lines on the weekend of 27-28 September. I have, therefore rescheduled this walk to the following Saturday, being 4 October. I hope all of our walkers can make this new date. I have also noted that a number of people have RSVP'd the Otford-Bundeena walk on 20 September (with Graham) and this walk. May I please ask that walkers choose one date, as a wait list is likely to appear for both days. Thnx everyone! Ted.

Hey Ted, there is trackwork planned from Dapto to Central and Cronulla to Central on this weekend. Will you reschedule or will you be going ahead anyway?
16 agosto
Hi Andrew. Thnx for that. Let me look into this and I will consider our options. Cheers, Ted.

Now, I don't wish to seem like I'm teasing, but ... Let's face facts!
We are going to see the entire RNP in its majestic coastal aspect, about 4 weeks into Springtime!
If you love colour and want to see Australia's natural beauty at its best, it is very difficult to think of a better way to spend a day in your life!
Come armed with a camera, of some sort. This will definitely be worth recording!
Cheers, Ted!
