**Summer Wonderland!**

**Royal National Park Coast Walk (Amended) - 28.5 km**

This is **SYDNEY'S PREMIER COASTAL WALK**, taking us through the world's second oldest national park, the magnificent **Royal National Park, Sydney**. There are long term track closures in the southern areas of the RNP. But there is a way through so let's do it!

From **Otford Station** we have a steep climb out to the RNP entrance, at Otford Lookout. Our first stop is **Garawarra Farm** where there are toilets. Fire trail and a local road take us **Curra Moors Trail** via which we re-join the **Coast Track**. for the rest of the day.

We push on to **Wattamolla Beach**, another 1.5 hours walk, for late lunch and 30 minutes break. Good bathrooms at this location. From Wattamolla, it’s a solid 3 hours walk to **Bundeena**, where we can catch the Ferry across Port Hacking to Cronulla Railway Station.

**Distance:** 28.5 km

**Type of Walk:** Full day adventure filled with great natural beauty, coastal tracks, rich diversity of pristine eco-systems and abandoned beaches. Some moderate climbs.

**Difficulty:** Hard, for distance. We will be winding through forest, up and down headlands and crossing long beaches. **A good level of fitness and personal commitment is required**. **NO get out points** for this walk; you must finish the entire walk.

**Walking Pace:** We must average 4KMH and will pick up pace where track conditions allow.

**Meeting Place and Transport:** Our train leaves Central Station Platform 25 at 6.29AM. **OTFORD STATION HAS A SHORT PLATFORM SO BE SURE TO TRAVEL IN AND ALIGHT FROM ONE OF THE LAST 4 CARRIAGES.** We arrive at Otford Station at 7.28AM. Transport back is by Ferry ($8.30) across Port Hacking to Cronulla Railway Station for 45-minute train service back to the City.

**What to bring:** Good walking shoes/trail runners; 2-3 litres of water; hydrolytes; two snacks and one lunch; light rain jacket depending on conditions; sunscreen and a cap or hat with a wide brim.

**YOU MUST BRING ALL WATER AND FOOD; I CARRY 3 LITRES OF FLUID FOR THIS WALK, SO PLEASE BRING PLENTY; NO REFILLS.**

**Suggested Donation:** $10

**Pub:** Bundeena RSL - **Photo ID Required**
