Join Ed and Denise on this classic bushwalk through Ku-ring-gai National Park. We will be walking the Sphinx Track down to Bobbin Head following Cowan Creek on a well-marked bush track. After lunch you have a choice as to how you return. Ed will return via Cockle Creek which makes the walk a Grade 3 as there will be some rock hopping. Denise will be return via Bobbin Head Track which makes the walk a Grade 2 as it is on a well-marked fire trail. The pace will be relaxed. 

Based on the 1890s story by Oscar Wilde that follows a hilariously misguided quest to commit the perfect crime. Cost: Adults $35.65. Concession (Pensioners & Seniors Card Holders) $30.65. Please send payment to me no later than Thursday 15th May. The Genesian Theatre is in St. Joseph's Church Hall at 2B Gordon Street, Rozelle, around the corner from Victoria Road. It is well-served by buses along Victoria Road from either the city or the west. Parking would be a problem in that area. The play commences at 7:30 pm. For Members and partners only.

Join me on this long weekend with a morning bike ride around Olympic Park passing along mangroves, aerial golf course and a prison. It would be a good opportunity for those who haven't ridden for a while as the pace will be relaxed and there are minimal road crossings. We will start at West Concord Station and no doubt have lunch at West Concord Hotel. You will need your own bike.

A bushwalk starting with morning tea at a cafe then urban paths to a fire trail on the edge of the bush. This will involve a steep uphill walk to where the fire trail becomes a steep downhill to a bush track. A creek with a smooth, potentially slippery floor, is then crossed. It is then uphill on another bush track, which becomes less steep, on the way to Spion Kop. Spion Kop has great views over Woy Woy Bay, and the station and town of that name are visible in the distance. In English, Spion Kop means Spy Hill and is named after a site in South Africa where the British were attacked by Boer sharpshooters during the Boer War. An outcropping feature close to Spion Kop is named Dragons Head. The return walk follows the same paths, although if time allows, we can walk up the creek to see some aboriginal carvings.

Join Ed and Denise on this loop walk from Bundeena to Marley Beach via Jibbon Head. The walk is on well marked tracks with great coastal views and maybe sighting some aboriginal rock carvings.  Some of the walk is on raised boards but it will be worth it. The pace will be relaxed.

Join Lynn and Denise at this social event listening and dancing to the greatest Abba hits. The show comprises of singers and musicians recreating the music of Abba at Norths Leagues Club, Cammeray.  The show starts at 8pm with optional dinner beforehand (dinner is extra cost to the show).  The Club is easy to get to - you can either drive (there is a carpark at the Club) or catch a bus. Cost of the show $41pp payable when booking with Denise. This is a Member Only Event. PLEASE NOTE:  Once you have paid the ticket is non-refundable.

There is an iconic 80km coastal walk which is known as Bondi to Manly. Peter is planning to walk the length of the walk and we are invited to join him. You can join him on all stages or one. Stage 1 is Bondi to Rose Bay via Watsons Bay some of which is already familiar to us. We will be following the Federation Cliff Walk which is the track between Bondi and Watsons Bay. Then after reaching Watsons Bay we will continue to Rose Bay via Nielsen Park and Parsley Bay. You can drop out along the way.  The pace will be moderate.  

Book after 20 October 2025. Follow the coastal track from Manly to Collaroy past 9 northern beaches, over 2 or 3 low cliffs, along paved walkways, boardwalk, bush tracks and sand (minimal beach walking). There may be a swimming opportunity depending on the weather. Finishing at Collaroy express bus stop with a drinks diversion for anyone who’s thirsty.
