Beauty and Adventure! Figure 8 Pool, Start at Otford, finish at Helensburgh!

We will start at Otford Train Station (meet outside the station on the east side) at 9.30am (train leaves Central at 8.29am from Platform 25 and arrives at Otford at 9.28am).
From here we will climb a steep hill and cross Lady Wakehurst Drive to arrive at the start of the walking track (if you are driving, there is a car park here, but keep in mind you will need to catch a train back and climb up the hill).
We will walk along The Cliff Track and stop at Werrong Lookout for a break and then through Palm Jungle along the Coastal Track on the way down to Burning Palms Beach.
From here we will walk along the rocky coast to Figure 8 Pools where we will have lunch.
We will return via Burning Palms Beach and the uphill track to Garrawarra Farm Cark Park, which can be quite challenging for some.
From here we follow the Burgh Track and Hacking River, cross Lake Wakehurst Drive and make our way to Helensburg Train Station.
We will aim to return to Helensburg Train Station by 3.23pm (when train leaves for Central).
If we miss the train we can go visit the glow worm cave which is close by.
