Details
Watsons Bay to Circular Quay - 22km
I would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land, the Gadigal and Gayemagal people and pay respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
This is a beautiful walk with stunning views of one of the most scenic harbours, beaches and coastline in the world. Plenty of exit points but hoping you can go the whole way.π
πRoute: 8:15am we catch the ferry from Circular Quay, Wharf 2, Side B to Watsons Bay Wharf which arrives at 8.38am. To start, we walk the South Head Heritage Trail to South Head & enjoy views of North Head & the open ocean before looping back to Watsons Bay.
From there we follow the coastline to Nielsen Park & use the Hermitage Foreshore Walk to get to Rose Bay where we'll have a break.
After lunch we have a slight climb up to Point Piper, then pass through Double Bay, Rushcutters Bay, Elizabeth Bay & Potts Point arriving at Woolloomooloo Wharf. Then around the Royal Botanic Gardens foreshore finishing at iconic the Sydney Opera House, Circular Quay.
We should finish at Circular Quay at 2.30pm.
