Sydney’s best bushwalk, the Coast Track, Royal National Park, part of the famous coastal walk, begins after a scenic 20 minute ferry ride across the Port Hacking River from Cronulla to Bundeena.  Walking for approx 4 hours we experience ancient Aboriginal carvings, the bizarre sandstone formations of Wave Rock, Prawn Rock, The  Devils Dice and White Cliffs of Marley and the beautiful and secluded Big and Little Marley Beaches. For overnight trips we’ll continue along the eroded cliffs to Wattamolla where we’ll camp the night by a secluded beach and lagoon, dine on sumptuous food, enjoy a beer or wine, and relax under the stars.

Sydney’s best bushwalk, the Coast Track, continues to hug the coast on the second day through the rocky inlet of Curracurrang where some of Sydney’s best whale watching vantage points are found during the migration season, (and where we enjoy one of Sydney’s best kept secrets), before the trail winds up past the eroded cliff formation of Curracurrong, aptly named Eagle Rock. We also enjoy the spectacular view of Garie Beach and the southern end of the Royal National Park, down to the Sir Lawrence Hargreaves bridge, Wollongong and beyond from Garie North Head. While  Little Garie, Era and Burning Palms, as well as being gorgeous little surf beaches, give a glimpse back in time to the Great Depression of the 1930’s with the heritage listed shack communities. Walking up through the Palm Jungle and one of New South Wales’ only coastal rainforests we’ll emerge atop the escarpment and be treated to another divine ocean view from Werrong lookout.
