South Coast Classic!! Gerringong - Kiama - Minnamurra: 22 km - Medium/Hard

**South Coast Classic!!! Gerringong to Minnamurra: the Kiama Walk! - 22 km - Medium/Hard** Let’s get well out of the City! For the whole day! We’ll travel two hours south of Sydney and be transported to some of Australia’s most gorgeous rural and coastal landscapes. Our trek starts at **Gerringong Railway Station**, from where we take local roads up to the town’s southern headland, before descending to Werri Beach. At the northern end of the beach, we cross Werri Lagoon. The local low tide coincides with our visit, so we should be able to cross the Lagoon whilst staying nice and dry! On the other side we enter a truly unique Coastal Track which ends 5km later at **Loves Bay**. From Loves Bay a further 5km of beaches, parks, stairs and local roads take us past the reliable **Little Blowhole** and into the local population centre, the beautiful township of **Kiama**. Here, we have a generous 1 hour lunch on the foreshores of Kiama Harbour. The Big Blowhole is a five minute stroll, for those who can’t resist having a peek! Following lunch, we step up the pace as we still have 9 km to go. After an easy climb out of Kiama, to Pheasant Point, sweeping views of **Bombo Beach** open up. We skirt this big beach on local footpaths. At its end we enter trails through a complex of bays and inlets which harbour spectacular volcanic formations, such as **The Boneyard and Cathedral Rocks**. With the long sweep of Jones Beach behind us, we ascend its northern headland. On the far side we look down on the **Minnamurra River**, curved around its Namesake Village and twisting again as it empties into the sea. It looks like the Garden of Eden! A short walk to Minnamurra Train Station completes the walk. **Distance:** 22 km **Type of Walk:** This walk is a full day adventure filled with great natural beauty, coastal tracks, a rich diversity of pristine eco-systems and idyllic coastal communities. **Difficulty:** Medium/Hard, although we must maintain a good pace all day to ensure we arrive at Minnamurra no later than 5pm. A good level of fitness is required. The only real get out point is Kiama, from where you can train back to Sydney. **Walking Pace:** We will maintain a steady pace all day and average 4,5 km per hour. We must be at Minnamurra by no later than 5:00 pm, to ensure we catch the 5.10 train to Sydney. **Meeting Place and Transport:** The train leaves from Central Station Platform 25 at 7:29am. At Kiama we change for the Gerringong Train, which leaves Kiama Platform 1. Please make sure you do not miss the connection to Gerringong. **What to bring:** Trail runners/trainers; 2 litres of water, refill at Kiama; hydrolytes; snacks; light rain jacket; sunscreen and a cap or hat with a wide brim. Consider some warmer clothing. Think about snacks for the return train journey! **Suggested Donation:** $10 **Pub:** Members can purchase take away from the local bottle shop, and have pleasant drink at Minnamurra Headland at the end By RSVPing to this event, you (and your guests) agree to and are bound by the terms and conditions of SOMG which you can view here: [Sydney Outdoors Meetup Group Discussions](https://www.meetup.com/sydney-outdoors-meetup-group/discussions/?eventOrigin=home_groups_you_organize) If you have any questions, please leave a comment below.
