Whale Hike! Cronulla, Captain Cook's Landing, Kamay Nat'l Park to a GREAT PUB!!!


Details
Cronulla, Kurnell, and "Cook at Kurnell" (pub) is part of Sydney not many have been to. Trust me, this hike is one you'll want to do. With the whales coming south, the cliff faces are the perfect viewing point(s) in September.
If you came on our Macmasters Beach to Killcare Beach & Hardy’s Hideaway Pub it’s in a similar spirit. If you missed it? Here’s your second chance at a memorable session... Cronulla Beach to Kurnell / Kamay Botany National Park to the site of Captain Cook’s Landing to… “Cook at Kurnell” for food and drinks. It's a 14.86kms hike.
Imagine this: “Hey Davo. Grandpa died. He left us the beach property. Let’s put some booze and beer kegs into his VW van and make a service window. And let’s empty out his trailer and put a kitchen in it. We’ll add picnic tables, umbrellas, live music and open a beach bar called Cook at Kurnell.”
Who knows if that's true. But Cook at Kurnell is exactly that kind of joint… I’ve been to the bar – love it. I’ve done an hour hike to Kurnell – love it. So? Grab my arm, and join me.
THE DETAILS:
Driving? 950am Find free parking at Greenhills Outdoor Basketball Court. MAP
951am to 10am You'll see those that took the train arrive from the bus.
1010am Hike starts!!!
Public Transport? 987 bus leaves from Cronulla Station at 945am, dropping at our hike start at 951am. Do NOT miss that bus. I'll meet you all at Cronulla Station at 940am. Find me. Trains arrive every 10minutes. Coffee and bathrooms are right there. Bus to the starting point.
1010am Hike Starts!
After the pub finish, 987 bus is right by Cook @ Kurnell that drops:
a) Close to the basketball courts (for drivers);
b) Drops us train riders back at Cronulla Station.
Easy!
Winding through Cronulla dunes and onto the beach we’ll elevate into Kamay Botany National Park… I’m not going to write a lot about it. It’s absolutely beautiful. Cliffs. Ocean. Views. It’s 10/10 (look at the pics from the last hike). It’s medium-hard with some uphill bits but nothing crazy difficult. 14.5kms so be fit, healthy, and bring some good energy and thirst for a beer or two.
THE REST.
a) Don’t be late. Please don’t be late. Trains run often to Cronulla. TripView App it for your arrival time.
b) $10 for this one. Cash or PayID.
c) Honour your RSVP. No shows / last minute cancels are bullshit.
d) Fitness matters here... we're going into a National Park. Sand hiking. Inclines, declines, and some distance. Be fit for a challenging hike.
e) Bring good energy. Bring mates or dates. Chat. And laughs. Let's have some grand fun in Mother Nature.
See you for an epic hike and pub! MJ
