"SPIT to MANLY" to BEACHFRONT MUDGEE WINE FESTIVAL HIKE!!!

The “Manly Beach to Spit Bridge Hike” is… So. Damn. Beautiful. It's widely considered the prettiest of the Sydney Harbour hikes. And? We’re adding Chinaman’s Beach - one of the sleeper Sydney beaches, and perhaps it’s the best. Let’s do it all, and finish at stunning Balmoral Beach. And guess what's on just next to the beautiful beach? The Mudgee Wine & Food Festival!! 12kms total hiking!

THE HIKE.
There's so much to write - but I won't. You have to see it with your own eyes. Manly Wharf to Spit Bridge. East Manly Cove Beach. West Manly Cove Beach, Manly Pavilion, Forty Baskets Beach, Reef Beach which spills into a diverse bush walk in Sydney Harbour National Park. Harbour views. Secluded Beaches. Wildlife. Mansions on the water to Clontarf and Spit Bridge. Crossing Spit Bridge we’ll enjoy a solid rest at Chinaman’s Beach – you’re in for a real treat. After Chinaman’s, we’ll neighbourhood / bush walk down to Balmoral Beach – another delightful Sydney spot.

THE WINE FESTIVAL & BEYOND.
a) Let's have a quick perve at Mudgee Wine Fest - 20 wineries and 15 food vendors (feel free to buy tickets and stay long)... then take a 7min bus up to:
b) The Buena is one of the nicest pubs in the lower north shore, and the rooftop section is really cool. I'll also say this - it's not on any 'Best Sunday Roasts" list, but it's absolutely delicious and it should be.

THE TRANSPORT.
a) Manly ferries leave Circular Quay to Manly every 10-15minutes. Please check your tavel apps - we’ll head off from Felon's Seafood (not Felon's the bar) at 930am. It's just next to Hugo's Manly. Arrive early! Manly Corso is lovely to check out early.
b) From Balmoral Beach there are buses o'plenty up to The Buena on Military Road then into the city.

See you for a beautiful hike, beers, and laughs. MJ
