Advanced Hiking Sydney

**Kamay Botany Bay National Park to Cronulla. 16 kilometres.** 🐋**9:00am Meeting place:** **[Bus stop](https://tinyurl.com/4ymnv6pu)** across the road from Cronulla Station. It'll be the peak time to see humpback whales on their northern migration to make babies in the tropics!🐳 With luck it'll be blubber to blubber traffic on the humpback highway.🙂 I would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land, the Gweagal people of the Dharawal Nation & pay respects to their people, culture & Elders past, present & emerging. 🐋**About:** Traditional land for more than 20,000 years of the Gweagal people. Landing place of Capt. James Cook and called the birthplace of modern Australia. In 2020 to commemorate the 250th anniversary, there are 3 magnificent large bronze sculpture installations by 3 aboriginal women artists. 🐋**Route:** We start from **[Kamay Botany Bay National Park](https://tinyurl.com/37w2fjsx)**[.](https://tinyurl.com/37w2fjsx) After appreciating the monuments/sculptures we cut through the scrub to the $2.5 million whale watching platform at Cape Solander. From there it's whale viewing vantage points pretty much all around the headland as we go south. After saying goodbye to our cetacean (whale) friends we head slightly inland through Boat Harbour Aquatic Reserve and the start of Cronulla Beach. This is a 4.5km stretch & we'll go onto the beach as it has hard sand all the way to Wanda Beach. From there it's the Esplanade walkway all the way to Cronulla. 🐋**Difficulty:** Easy. The track is flat with dirt tracks & boardwalks. There is some rock hopping but nothing dangerous. 🐋**Transport from the city:** ***Depart-*** 7.40am Central Station, Platform 27 (Metro) ***change*** Sydenham Station, Platform 1 ***Arrive-*** 8.44am [Cronulla St opp Cronulla Station, Cronulla](https://tinyurl.com/2xsvvkpw). You have 16 mins to get a coffee before we catch the Kurnell bus. 🐋**Driving:** Try parking near [Cronulla Station](https://tinyurl.com/vuhn2z3t). No point driving to the start, Kurnell, as the buses from the end of the walk back to Kurnell, are infrequent. 🐋**What to bring:** Good walking shoes or trainers. A warm layer for when we stop. A full water bottle. No refills till Wanda Beach. Snacks. Binoculars if you have them. Plankton. Only joking.🙂 🐋**Gratuity:** There will be a $10 cash gratuity for this walk or Pay ID alternatively. By ***RSVP*** to this meetup you agree to and are bound by the terms and conditions of Aussie Explorers which can be found [here](https://www.meetup.com/Aussie-Explorers/).

A welcoming day out where the focus is all about fun, friendships and fresh air. Whether you come solo or bring a mate, you’ll leave with new connections and memories! \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **🚙 Carpooling Makes It Happen** At Social Hikes Australia, carpooling is a big part of what makes our hikes possible. Every extra seat means another person gets to join. Fewer cars, easier logistics and a more social, fun start to the day. Carpooling is also a great way to meet people before the hike even begins, share a few laughs, get to know each other, and arrive together. It’s simple, social, and one of the best parts of the experience 🌿 \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 👉 **For Drivers** If you’ve got spare seats, offering a lift makes a big difference. It helps others join, reduces parking stress and makes the ride more enjoyable from the start. 👉 **For Passengers** Passengers are to contact drivers directly using the details provided in the carpool sheet (linked at the top of the description). The sheet shows information from carpooler tickets (Drivers Offering Seats). ✨ **Best practice:** Try to organise your ride before purchasing a ticket to avoid last-minute stress. **Please note:** Drivers and passengers should stick to the arrangements they make. We do not recommend swapping drivers or cars after you’ve agreed on a ride. If you do decide to change, please make sure all parties are clearly informed and agree to avoid confusion. If a driver forgets, gets mixed up, or doesn’t pick you up, Social Hikes Australia (and your driver) are **not liable** for any inconvenience caused. For this reason, it is best to keep things simple with the driver you first arranged with. ⚠️ **Important Notes** * Please stick with the carpool arrangement you agree on. * Avoid swapping drivers unless everyone is clearly informed and agrees. * Petrol, parking, and other costs are not included in the ticket price. These should be agreed upon directly between the driver and passengers. * Social Hikes Australia is not responsible for any issues with private carpool arrangements. 📍 **Pick-Up Info** Drivers will share their preferred pick-up locations, such as major train stations. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **🤩 Why Join?** 🌟 Make new friends in a relaxed, casual way. 🌟Enjoy nature and fresh air while meeting like-minded people your age 🌟Friendly vibes full of laughs, chats and good times guaranteed 🌟You never know.
