**Mixed Up History! Historic Como Bridge - Oatley Park - Mortdale! 12KM Medium**

We meet at the **Railway Parade exit to Como Train Station** by no later than 10:35AM and commence our walk towards the historic **Como Bridge, completed 1885,** which is now a pedestrian walkway across the Georges River. About 5KM in, we stop at **Oatley Shops** to use the bathroom and grab morning tea and a coffee at the local cafes.

Coffee done, we head through backstreets, parks and sneaky passages to access **Oakley Park**, which is a truly amazing nature reserve, jutting into the Georges River with fantastic views that are not to be missed! We take a short lunch break at **Oatley Castle** (yep, there is a Castle, sort of) where a clean bathroom is also available.

Lunch done, we hike out via **Lime Kiln Bay** and **Hurstville golf course**, into backstreets and sneaky cheats through to Mortdale Park and **Mortdale Station** for our transport out. There is a lot to see on this great walk!
