Wait ‘til you see **[Club Rose Bay](https://merivale.com/venues/club-rose-bay/)** now… the Merivale design, the food is so good (normal pub prices too), the military history, the pickleball & basketball courts. It’s this homely-decadent pub… with top-notch perving. We need to get there at pre-noon ‘cause by 2pm, this place is PUMPING every weekend. Our timing for lunch and a beer is 11am 'til 12:15pm (kitchen opens at 1130am)… let’s enjoy a proper pub lunch (you don't have to eat) then burn off the calories with a glorious journey. **Rose Bay to Watson's Bay and Diamond Bay is a 14kms classic...** the beaches, the neighbourhoods, and the trails. It's a relaxed journey with stunning views to Sydney Opera House... finishing with an unforgettable outlook to the opening of Sydney Harbour and whales migrating south! And if you like a Sunday lie in, this start time should soothe your sleepy soul. (NOTE: TEAM - I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH AS I'M BAFFLED AT HOW MANY HIKERS CANNOT FOLLOW DIRECTIONS - after you join this event on MeetUp, come back here and **[YOU MUST](https://chat.whatsapp.com/L2YDjxpdME66mZ5nTyd6GQ)**[ ](https://chat.whatsapp.com/L2YDjxpdME66mZ5nTyd6GQ)**[join our WHATSAPP GROUP by clicking on this link!!!](https://chat.whatsapp.com/L2YDjxpdME66mZ5nTyd6GQ)** **THE HIKE.** **Rose Bay to Watson’s Bay is 10kms** of Sydney Harbour in its glory… **Rose Bay, Milk Beach, Shark Beach, Parsley Bay Bridge,** and onto **Watson’s Bay** and perfect views of Sydney Harbour’s entrance at **South Head & Hornby Lighthouse**. It's an easy hike with very few up / downhills - a magical session through parks, neighbourhoods, beaches, and Sydney Harbour National Park. We'll continue **4kms** down the coast where **Diamond Bay** provides more stunning views... finishing at **Dudley Page Reserve** with Sydney CBD on view in the backdrop. From there: *a) Take the 380 bus back up to Watson's Bay, ferry to Circ Quay;* *b) Take the 380 bus and explore Bondi Beach (or take it to Bondi Junction); or* *c) Super quick Uber back to Rose Bay Wharf for the ferry.* If you know our hikes, you know we always find these "WOW" type places for a drink and a bite.

HIKEtoberfest! SUNSET @ MIDDLE HARBOUR - THE AUSTRIAN CLUB! Octoberfest!

**"MJ, how in the fahk did you find this schnitzel place?"** **Just wait. I know you're gonna say those exact words when we walk through the doors...** **I love this short yet challenging hike(s). I love this restaurant. It is October, so let's celebrate with a sunset hike to the best European schnitzel in Sydney!** **THE HIKING – EATING – DRINKING PLAN:** First, the bus. The **172x leaves Wynyard Stand A (corner of Carrington Street and Margaret Street) at 436pm.** Tell your boss you've gotta "drop tools" at 415pm, and meet us there. If you miss this bus? You miss the event (or an expensive Uber to catch up). The bus drops at Seaforth Oval 513pm... quick change / bathroom for those who need it, and off we hike at 530pm (drivers read below). **Middle Harbour Hiking 4kms.** Middle Harbour is stunning, and **The Bluff Lookout** is the prize at the top that’s not to be missed. When we leave Seaforth Oval, you will not believe how Mother Nature has carved this trail and caves so close to suburbia (and **The Austrian Club**). It’s the perfect start to build up some hunger Octoberfest. The **Bluff Lookout Sunset** is the finale, and it's 300m away from our Austrian destination. Yet be aware – sure it’s close to Sydney’s CBD – but this trail has ascent and will be a bit challenging (*from Harbour level to 153metres - you'll earn your beer*). Please join our whatsapp group **[HERE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/G6Xa9ByXTlu1LHO5ckSZWV) \- all members for this hike must join\.** **The Austrian Club.** Wait ‘til you see this schnitzel haus – you’ll feel like you’re in rural Austria. It’s so authentic, so friendly, and so delicious. We found this delightful joint quite a while ago, and no shit a week later it appeared in **[GOOD FOOD Sydney Morning Herald, and they loved it](https://www.smh.com.au/goodfood/sydney-eating-out/this-raucously-cosy-club-serving-schnitzels-and-schnapps-is-still-going-strong-after-45-years-20250303-p5lgkp.html)**. Their **[MENU IS HERE](https://www.austrianclubrestaurant.com/menu/menu.pdf)**. The local government donated land to the Austrian community, and they built an authentic home that's not to be missed. When we leave, we'll jump back on the bus - no doubt some will share an Uber too. The bus is a little tricky, but I've got it worked out / will explain on the nite. **The LOGISTICS:** a) *Be on time. Be safe. Be fit for the ascent.* b) **172x Bus** drops right at Seaforth Oval, our meeting point. There's parking there too, but smart drivers would park at The Austrian Club and $10 Uber (or **141 Bus** down) to our starting point then hike to their car. c) Cancels (day before or on the day) / no shows. Nope. Don’t do it. The Austrian Club has my credit card for the reso, and the workers are volunteers – if you RSVP “Attend” then show up. d) **$10 for this one. Cash or PayID.** e) Bring good energy. Bring mates or dates. Chat. And laughs. Let's have some grand fun in Mother Nature. g) Again, please join our whatsapp group **[HERE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/KTSf8JzeVAPLs6c5FeMFx3)**, so we can all find the starting point. See you for a beautiful and fun nite-hike!

"WOW" Session: 12kms Flat Rock Gully to Spit Bridge! "Cheers" @ Pub to Finish!

Over the past 3 years, I hope I’ve earned your trust when I say things like: a) *“You are going to looooove this bar”;* and b) *“Wow. This hike is a secret gem you’ve gotta try.”* *Well, this hike … is a really, really cool session all hikers in this group should experience.* **THE HIKE. Artarmon Station to Spit Bridge** At first, I didn’t know what to hike to plan, so I went on my hike-map creator app and just started connecting dots from Artarmon Station… east… via this creek. Via that park. Via this neighbourhood. And onward down to Middle Harbour which then linked to Spit Bridge. Looked like a nice 12kms through the middle of Sydney, but who knows eh? Then we hiked it. 28 of us hiked it on 11 October, and not one hiker had done the entire journey prior to. At the end? ***“WOW what a great, beautiful hike / never seen this pretty side of Sydney”*** echoed throughout. It’s truly a sneaky gem of a session – we were all surprised at the beauty from start to finish. [(TEAM: AFTER YOU HIT ATTEND, COME BACK HERE AND CLICK ON THIS LINK TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP.

The finale is a lovely coastal, bush hike down to Spit Bridge where the bus will get us to the pub (to be named later – but it’s 100% on).*** There are some ups, some downs.
