Classic Sydney Harbour Walk - Watson’s Bay to Circular Quay – 16km
We catch the ferry from Circular Quay Wharf 2, Side B to Watson's Bay where we strike off for Parsley Bay, Vaucluse, Nielsen Park, Shark Bay and the Hermitage Walk through to Rose Bay where we stop for our lunch break.
We then knock off the suburbs of Point Piper (very posh, indeed!), Double Bay, Darling Point, Rushcutters Bay (quick bathroom break), Elizabeth Bay, Potts Point and Woolloomooloo before heading for the Domain where we access the Royal Botanic Garden and tramp on through to the Opera House, that Bridge and the heart of the World's most beautiful City!!!
Distance: 16 km
Type of Walk: This Sunday Walk is filled with great variation, from historical characters, famous houses, criminals and spivs, soaring CBD architecture to the Botanic Garden and the hustle and bustle of the World's greatest harbour looking like a JMW Turner painting.
Difficulty: Medium. We will maintain a moderate pace and stop here and there to check out what's happening.
There are many get out points.
