THIS WALK IS NOW FULL.
A pleasant and picturesque circuit walk that takes us through the streets of Lane Cove and into the southern end of Lane Cove National Park and onto a bush track along the river.
Our walk will start at Faulconbridge Station where will follow the Victory track along the Sassafrass Gully where we see our first waterfall, the Carinda Falls. We will detour to the Numantia Falls, a hidden gem where we will stop for morning tea. We then carry on slowly descending to the Glenbrook Creek. We follow along the creek before meeting the junction at Perch Ponds where we slowly start our ascent to Springwood Station. Along the way, we will pass Martins Falls and Magdella Falls.
Note the track did suffer a fair bit of damage after the February storms with trees down. These have largely been cleared now but there may be a bit of scrambling here and there. Hopefully all the waterfalls will be flowing!
Walk is station to station so accessible by public transport. If driving, suggest leave car at Springwood Station and catch the train to the start.
Please provide your membership number and mobile when booking.
Celebrate the start of daylight saving by joining Ed and me on this scenic walk. We follow the paths around to Watsons Bay and finish the day with a ferry ride back to the city.
The pace will be relaxed.
From the Waddy firetrail we go off track and drop into Coba Creek. Following the creek we come to the terminus of Kulpas track which we follow back to our starting point.
The drop into Coba Creek involves negotiating a couple of cliff lines and the creek itself will involve rock / boulder hopping & scrambling.
Car pool from Hornsby station can be arranged (approx $5 - $10).
A varied walk covering over half of Narrabeen Lake (including newest bridge) and visiting Long Reef cliff. We will mainly follow bike/walking tracks with a short road section, avoiding sand.
Starting on Kings Tableland near Wentworth Falls, we'll visit Lions Head and then take the partly off-track route down to Kedumba Homestead. We'll use the relatively easy alternative route back up, avoiding both the Goat Track and the usual fire trail. So quite a big day. Car shuffle involved, and car pool from Strathfield. The leader hasn't surveyed the track since the bushfires, so some improvisation may be required.
THIS WALK IS NOW FULL
Politicians, Publicans and Sinners! This history walk takes on a tour of 19 places of interest focussing on a number of people in Glebe's history including one who bestrode the Federation stage and others who contributed to the community through their professions, their sport, their religion or their watering hole. As I am combining the history walk with an ANB Round Table Dinner the walk will commence mid to late afternoon (daylight saving is a blessing). This will be a fun afternoon exploring the wonderful streets of Glebe and learning about what those politicians, publicans and sinners got up to back in the day followed by our dinner afterwards at a local Glebe pub! Please register using the email address provided together with your member number and mobile phone number.
An interesting twist to the normal Turramurra Bobbin Head walks. We will descend Murrua Track via a new route (maybe 1 klm off track) to Bobbin Head, then amble over to Apple Tree Bay for lunch. Following that it will be back via the Gibberagong track to Turramurra.
Mostly on bush tracks, a little fire trails and just one small section of easy off track.
All members are welcome to contribute or just see how your organisation is run.
You never know, you might even want to become a committee member and that would be great.
Meeting will be held at the NEC offices in North Sydney, if any member wishes to attend, you must confirm attendance in advance.
Enjoy a leisurely walk from Thornleigh Station via Terrys Creek & Browns waterhole to Eastwood. We'll explore the multitude of Korean grocery stores and dine at one of the many eateries for lunch.
This pleasant day walk starts from the East Hills Train Station and follows Henry Lawson Drive to Lambeth Reserve at the Georges River edge. Following the boardwalks, footpaths and bushtracks the walk explores the edge of the river including Yeramba Lagoon (popular amongst birdwatchers) and Salt Pan Creek before returning to the streets and finishing at the Padstow Train Station. Please register using the email address provided with your member number and mobile phone number.
Where is Berowra Valley Regional Park I hear you ask?
Join Ed and me walking on bush tracks/fire trails from Thornleigh to Hornsby following Zig Zag Creek..
The walk will be at a relaxed pace.
A varied coastal walk over a range of terrain: bush tracks, sand, road and stairs. Many opportunities to take in views. We will climb to Barrenjoey Lighthouse, Palm Beach Bible Garden and the highest point on the Northern Beaches - Bangally Head.
This newly-surveyed circuit links a series of Hornsby Heights fire trails and streets, the Great North Walk, the Crosslands Reserve, and the Lyrebird Gulley track. It's done with the help of two short off-track bits, which involve some steep scrambling in possibly damp and slippery creek beds. You'll need to be comfortable with this sort of thing. It's all very scenic. Car pooling from Hornsby station.
When: Saturday, 5th December 2020
Time: From 4:00pm to 8:00pm
Where: Rhodes Memorial Park BBQ area, Brays Bay Reserve
Join Ed and me on a relaxed bike ride around Olympic Park. You need your own bike but it will be a relaxed day out post Xmas party.
We'll explore some of the ridges between Bells Line of Road and the Grose Valley. Points visited will include Liversidge Hill and Birrabang Walls. Stunning views to be had. It's largely off track, but following the recent fires, it's an open and easy-going sort of off track. You will get somewhat blackened by the burnt vegetation though.
