Waterfall, Water Hole & Pub! Royal National Park ULOOLA FALLS 12kms HIKE!

Within the next month we’ve got a pub crawl, coastal walks galore with wine and whales… even a hike to a yacht party (may the [hiking] gods help us). With this event, let’s get into the park – THE ROYAL NATIONAL PARK – the 2nd oldest National Park in the world. I love a newbie hike / pub, I love a train station to train station event, and I love waterfalls, greenery, and natural pools mixed in between this 12kms session.

WATERFALL STATION to ULOOLA FALLS, 6kms
“A perfect day trip from Sydney, Uloola walking track is a long but picturesque walk through the waterfalls, wildflowers and sandstone formations of Royal National Park. You won’t believe this long walk is only an hour from the centre of Sydney. Uloola walking track meanders through the picturesque highlands of Royal National Park, and you’ll soon forget you’re so close to civilisation.”

ULOOLA FALLS / KARLOO POOL to HEATHCOATE STATION, 6kms
We’ll stop for a snack (swim too?) at the waterfall / Karloo Pool – some call it the best secret swimming hole in all of Sydney. From here it’s a 6kms bush hike with some ascent through the lovely RNPark to Heathcoate Station.

12kms in total – 3 to 4hrs to hike it. Pub after? Yeah let’s do it (optional of course). The Heathcoate Hotel is right there… let’s roll in with tired legs and a thirst for alcohol to “cheers” to our adventure.

THE OTHER STUFF
a) We'll meet at Waterfall Station (from Central Station, arrives 10:12am). The hike starts there at 1015am. Driving? Park for free at Heathcoate Station (where we finish) and jump on the same train as us.
b) The cost. The hike is $10. PayID or Cash.
c) Don’t be late. Honour Your RSVP. Morning of cancels / no shows… well, not on at all. It's anti-social. You’ll be nudged out of the group.
d) Fitness. Fitness matters. There will be ups. Downs. Trail. Rocks. Proper hiking.
e) Feel free to bring mates, dates, ex's, etc...
f) Remember, this is the 2nd oldest National Park in the world – pack your backpack with thought and care. Water. Snacks. Extra socks. Band Aids. Towel, etc…

Looooove a newbie hike! See you soon. MJ
