Sheltered beach with netted swimming area. There are grassy banks & a toilet/changing block Free & non-limited parking in New Street from where you walk down steps to beach About 2km walk from Manly ferry wharf.

Starting from 11:00am, BYO food & drink (no café nearby).

NB  Snorkelling is a fine weather activity.  Cancellation will occur (and at relatively short notice) if there has been heavy rain the day before (visibility and/or health risks due to runoff) or if it's overcast/raining on the dayor if there are strong winds/swells or excessively cold temperatures, for example.  If in doubt, check with me first.

From Manly we will leave the beaten tracks at Shelley Beach and follow the shore line under the cliffs to Blue Fish Point. From there it's up to North Head and then a small section of bush track to Quarantine Head. Depending on tide we may follow the shore line from Quarantine Station to Collins Beach.

The shore line section from Shelley Beach to Blue Fish Point will involve a lot of rock scrambling and sure footing is essential. The walk is timed for low tide as one section is impassable if the tide is in.

A classic Sydney bushwalk and a favourite of the club for many years.

Enjoy Middle Harbour views from the bush and urban streets, an opportunity for a swim, and a recovery at a Manly pub or cafe before the ferry to Circular Quay.

Along the way we take a side trip to explore the 1930's depressiom era cottages at Crater Cove.

The Flying Carpet is one of the 'must do' iconic destinations in the Gardens of Stone area. It's up towards the end of the Glowworm Tunnel Road, and it's an amazing rock platform seemingly stuck out in thin air, half way down a spectacular cliff face, overlooking Carne Creek. We'll be entirely off-track, and there's scrub-bashing and rock-scrambling. You'll need a head for heights. The ascent onto the outcrop itself will be with the assistance of climbing tape, but gee, it's well worth it! (Photos from 2014 trip here: https://anbwalkers.org.au/node/1308)

THIS IS NOW FULLY BOOKED. Contact Catharina to be added to the wait-list.
