A summer coastal walk with uni mates in Royal National park, Sydney
On one of my journeys migrating my stuff from Sydney to Melbourne I checked in
with some mates from university. They were heading off for a walk from
Bundeena to Otford and asked if I would like to tag along. The forecast was
for fine weather, and always one up for adventure I said yes.
The accommodation on offer was free in all respects. Camping on the shore perched above the ocean cannot be bettered by any
luxury hotel in my books.
Early on Saturday morning we caught the train to Cronulla and the first ferry
to Bundeena. The walking was quite spectacular, but at times demanding. The
first day was 20 or so km and I wasn't walking fit so suffered; more so
on the descents. My knees were really letting me know that I was alive with
their angry protestations.
We swam, we camped, we chatted and sang. No boozing which was great, just a
good fun time. The water was warm and no rips present.
This walk was well worth doing and is also documented at:
