Easy Hikes Sydney

From Sterling Fitness Hiking Adventures

Last Friday, 20 of us hiked Coogee to Bondi at sunset, and it was a beauty of an event! 22 degrees and sunny the forecast for this Friday, so let's get out there again and "Cheers" when the sun goes down... **TO START** a) I'll be at **Paragon Hotel** having a beer from **5pm**. I usually find an outdoor table. Will discuss live in whatsapp. b) We leave there at **535pm** to jump on a **545pm ferry to Taronga**. c) We **arrive Taronga Wharf at 6pm** for you North Shore folks. **THE HIKE.** ***Taronga to Balmoral***. It’s an Aussie fahkin' beauty of a due to its diversity… Of course the ***ferry ride from CQuay to Taronga (ferry leaves at 545pm - be early*** is amazing, and the first stint of the walk transports you to another part of Australia – it’s a rainforest start to ***Bradley’s Head*** with perfect views of ***Sydney Opera House / Harbour Bridge***. Turning the corner we’ll stop at a secluded beach then carry on to ***Taylor’s Bay*** – the greenery / plant life there will amaze all. **[NOTE: YOU MUST JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP FOR THIS EVENT HERE AFTER YOU HIT ATTEND HERE ON MEETUP!](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DfmBPEzG2ea5l6ub6kmh77)** From there the walk heads to ***Chowder Bay***, one of the coolest little beaches that not many Sydneysiders know of. There’s a café / bathroom stop there, then up the only real incline to ***George’s Head***: a historic military spot with the most picture perfect view from Manly to the CBD. We head back into the bush for a 15min walk to the ***Balmoral Stairs*** that will guide us down to Balmoral Beach. Lovely Balmoral... hard to leave, but we'll bush climb into one of the nicest parts of Mosman, then descend onto **Chinaman's Beach**. By now it will be dark, so perhaps bring a roadie in your backpack to "Cheers" on the sand / water. We climb again then descend again to Spit Bridge where buses run every 5min to the pub... **WingMill** is a great little USA small bar in Neutral Bay - owner is from California, and he's a super nice guy. TOP wings, and one of the best smash burgers north of the bridge (personally I love their buffalo chicken burger). That **Isaac Eats** fella has an instagram video about it **[HERE](https://www.instagram.com/reels/C_P68GbyLO7/)**. Post WingMill? Well... let's see what time it is, and who's keen to carry on... buses run every 5min to the CBD. ***(SAFETY NOTE: I'm recommending a head lamp if you don't have one, but "I'll just use my mobile phone's light" was sufficient last time. For safety and future events get to KMart... they are $10)*** See you for a fun Friday session!

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

Fri, Oct 30, 11:15 PM

From Sydney Outdoors Meetup Group

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.* (Edit: Shiiiit this event is popular. So? Two things: a) A reservation is made for us at **Las Palmas... a very cool Mexican Garden Bar in Manly**. When we finish the 144 bus is right there - 10min away is Manly Beach. b) DIY research, but the **Surf Sound Festival** is on in Manly Beach. Perhaps there's something you'd like to see!) **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. IT’S A MUST TO JOIN THIS EVENT. I’LL BET $1,000 SOMEBODY WRITES ME AND SAYS “I CAN’T FIND THE LINK TO WHATSAPP IN THE EVENT”… AND WELL. HERE IT IS DUMMY!) CLICK HERE PLEASE? PLEASE! ](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JNPBdp3OzBS3rIUW8VgbB1)*[ALL SAID WITH A SMILE.](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JNPBdp3OzBS3rIUW8VgbB1)* ***Artarmon to Flat Rock Creek to Tunks Park and Middle Harbour, this hike zigs and zags out of gorgeous bushland and beautiful homes / architecture in the lower north shore. 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. But Artarmon (85metres above sea level) to Spit (sea level) is a downhill walk / hike. More in our group gotta see this 12kms Middle Harbour stunner. Get in there like swimwear. 1015am start (yes, a sleep in), and we'll finish hiking at 130pm, pub by 145pm. See you soon.

CAVES BEACH, GHOSTIES BEACH… Central Coast Coastal Adventure!!!

Sat, Nov 7, 8:30 PM

During my 3 Years of hosting **We Hike to the Bar** there's been quite a few jaw-dropping moments of scenery... **Ghosties Beach** and its caves is most likely the top moment of 2026. Legend Hiker Heidi (90+ hikes) and a few others mentioned some Newcastle hikes, and while researching - I just can't find a lot. If you have some suggestions, please send them to me. What did I find is a tad closer to Sydney, and this will be a gem of a 15kms coastal journey... **GHOSTIES BEACH - CAVES BEACH - SWANSEA HEADS** Low tide is 230pm (essential for Ghosties Beach caves), so here's how we'll hike **Swansea (north) to Catherine Hill Bay for lunch (cars parked here)... then finish with the short and beautiful Ghosties Beach Cave loop!** From AI (sorry, I hate using it), the highlights: * **Ghosties Beach Sea Cave:** A massive, dramatic rock tunnel and sea cave system located at the southern end of Ghosties Beach. (Note: It must be explored strictly during **low tide** for safe access). * **Pink Caves:** Vibrant, naturally pink-hued rock formations and coastal sea caves near Catherine Hill Bay. * **Scenic Coastline & Beaches:** Sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and passes past several picturesque spots including Pinney Beach, Catherine Hill Bay, and Moonee Beach. * **Vantage Points:** Elevated headland views looking up and down the New South Wales coastline. We'll need drivers. Of course! We love you. I think good pick up points are Parramatta, Wolli Creek, and Chatswood. It's a 1hrs 20min drive from Chatswood. We'll start with those 3 locations and work from there. **Catherine Hill Bay Hotel "The Catho"** is a heritage-listed (from 1875) joint with really good food... as soon as you look at this pub, you won't forget it. It's a classic, and there's nothing like it. This looks to be a great day out... See you soon. MJ **THE LOGISTICS.** a) Gratuity $15 Cash or PayID on the day. b) Drivers, you'll be compensated by your riders. Thank you! c) Last minute Cancels and No Shows... *I'm not even going to say it.* d) Have a backpack filled with... well, you know all this shit by now. Make a list. Be safe.
