This is Sydney’s premier coastal walk, taking us through the world’s second oldest national park, the magnificent Royal National Park, Sydney. Our starting point is the village of Otford, at the southern end of the RNP. 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 15 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 20 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. More details here: https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/walking-tracks/the-coast-track Difficulty: Hard, because of the distance. We will be winding through forest, up and down headlands and crossing long beaches. A good level of fitness is required. There is mainly 2 large hills to climb and lots of sand walking. There are NO get out points for this walk. If you attend you must finish the entire walk. (there may be shuttle bus at Garrie beach & wattamolla) Walking Pace: We will maintain a steady pace all day and average 4 km per hour. Please DO NOT attend if you are feeling unwell or just recently recovering from any illness.
