Rediscovering Sydney! Lindfield - Manly - Epic Bush + Manly Dam! 25km (Med/Hard)

Details: Lindfield Train Station to Manly via Epic Bushwalking Tracks and Manly Dam!! (Medium/Hard)

We meet adjacent to Lindfield Train Station by 8:30 am, on Lindfield Avenue just outside Goodfields Eatery - its serves great coffee, so get their early if you want one!

Underway by no later than 8:40am, we hit the backstreets to find Two Creeks Track and a spectacular bush walk taking us 8km to Davidson Park, for morning tea and a bathroom. Refreshed, we strike out for Killarney Heights, Natural Arch, Bluff Track and Timber Getters Track which leads through 8km of wonderful bush walking to Seaforth Oval for lunch and another bathroom break.

After lunch, its 9km to go along bush tracks behind Wakehurst Golf Course which wend down to the impressive Manly Dam. After walking across the Dam Wall (yes, we can!) we head for Passmore Oval and pick up Manly Creek which we follow through to Manly Lagoon and the beachfront at Queenscliff. Manly Beach promenade takes us to The Corso and Manly Ferry Wharf/Bus Interchange for transport out.

We should be at Manly Ferry Wharf by 4.45 pm.
