**Are you looking for a bit of adventure? This might be the walk for you!** **We will start at Waterfall Train Station.** **From here we will follow the track to the Forest Walk, a shady track that makes its way around Forest Island. On our way, there is only one moderate climb and one creek crossing where we might get wet feet if there has been significant recent rain. Forest Island is a sheltered rainforest ecological environment with ferns, palms, mosses, and creek scenery to admire. At the end, we will have a break at the Palona Picnic Area.** **From here, we will make our way to Palona Cave. We will explore the cave, a large limestone overhang featuring columns, stalactites and a little waterfall (a bit of scrambling will probably be required if you’d like to explore the waterfall). We will have lunch here.** **Then we'll return to Lady Carrington Drive, which is the first scenic route to be built through the National Park. It follows the Hacking River and took 3 years to build, opening in 1886.** **This will take us to Audley, where there are toilets and a café. We will have another break here.** **There is no opportunity to exit the walk until we reach Audley.** **From Audley, we ascend the Honeymoon Track up to Rawson Parade Track then on to finish at Loftus Train Station.** **We will aim to finish by 3.30pm, from where we can catch a train back to Sydney.** **\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*** **DISTANCE: Around 20 km.** **GRADE: Medium, Grade 3.** **NOTE: Only get-out point is at Audley by Uber.

Join us for a massive **35km coastal challenge over Eastern Beaches** as we take on our unofficial attempt of the scenic 'Bloody Long Walk' (Sydney East route). Originally hosted by the Mito Foundation each November, we are tackling this spectacular coastal track our own way. This is a demanding, long-distance trek requiring high fitness and endurance, but the world-class ocean views are worth every step. For reference on the official event route, you can check here: [https://www.bloodylongwalk.com.au/lp/sydney-east/](https://www.bloodylongwalk.com.au/lp/sydney-east/) **Before you RSVP, be sure to read the full description:** * **Difficulty** **and Terrain:** Hard (for highly fit, experienced hikers only).

Please arrive a few minutes early. **Finish:** Circular Quay (followed by an optional, well-earned dinner for those who go the distance!). * **Route:** We will start at Pioneers Park and head down to Maroubra Beach, making our way north through Coogee and up to Bondi. From there, we join the famous coastal trail (which we recently completed from the opposite direction!), passing the stunning Diamond Bay and Hornby Lighthouse at Watsons Bay. We will then sweep through Rose Bay and past Mrs Macquarie's Chair before finally wrapping up at Circular Quay. * **Gratuity:** A $5 contribution is appreciated to help cover our Meetup subscription and group running costs. Carry Cash or ask for PayID. **Important - Please Read:** * **What to Bring:** Wear proper hiking shoes, bring **ample hydration (Minimum 1.5L of water- Refill available at stops), pack enough snacks/lunch,** sunscreen, hat, and weather protection\*\*.\*\* * **RSVP responsibly** – Treat it as a commitment; update or cancel 12–24 hrs before. * **Arrive early** – All route/gear info is in the description; hosts can’t field messages during the event. * **Stay together** – It's a volunteer-led community walk; keep the host in sight and let them know if you leave. * **Safety first** – **Your safety is your own responsibility**!
