Sydney Coastal Councils Group Inc Level 12 Town Hall House, 456 Kent Street, Sydney 2000. Tel 9246 7702 Walking Times The walking times noted in the text and on the walking times map are walking times only and based on a modest walking speed of approxi- mately 2.5 to 3 kilometres per hour, depending on the terrain. Add on time for breaks, lunch, a swim, or just the pleasure of leisurely looking around. If you are a reasonably fit walker and your time is short, the walks of course can be covered in less time than shown. Personal Care and Comfort The routes covered in this brochure vary from urban footpaths to bush tracks and while generally of reasonable grades sometimes involve steep flights of steps. All routes, however, are on properly formed pathways and do not involve scrambling or rock climbing. Walkers should match the length of walk and terrain to their level of fitness. Use sunscreen, carry water and wear a hat, especially in summer, and always wear a good pair of walking shoes.Toilets along the way are indi- cated on the map thus ‘ ‘. Route Marking & Signage It is the long term intention to have the main (red) routes indicated with the internationally recognised yellow directional markings as follows – straight ahead wrong direction turn right turn left Council street signs will sometimes show the walking person icon and information signs and maps are generally indicated with the symbol. Note that the Manly Scenic Walkway, The Harbour to Hawkesbury Track and the Great North Walk are not marked by yellow bars but by wooden directional posts or National Parks signs. Harbour Bridge to Spit Bridge Walks The routes between these two bridges embrace main and Middle Harbour views, a cross section of some of Sydney's most interesting residential streets with a mixture of Federation style and opulent modern architecture. There are also reminders of the span of history from Aboriginal times, from the First Fleet, from times when it was a base for whaling and times of war or threat of war when fortifications were built to guard the harbour. The routes wind over headlands and ridges, skirt many viewpoints and pass through parks, rainforest remnants and bushland. At the Spit Bridge longer distance walkers can join the Harbour to Hawkesbury (Manly to Cowan) Track which then connects with the Great North Walk to Newcastle. For a circle, you could then take the Great North Walk back through the Lane Cove National Park to the Harbour Bridge (see adjacent Trunk Walking Routes map). This brochure suggests two main walks (marked in red) from the Harbour Bridge to the Spit Bridge and from there on to Manly (see below). It also indicates a variety of loop or short cut routes marked in green. These enable the walk to be broken into smaller segments to be tackled over several days. They allow you to explore significant areas not covered by the main routes, for example, a network of paths over the Mosman headlands including the former military bases and fortifications. For more details see the brochure ‘Walking Taronga to Balmoral’ available free from Harbour Trust, National Parks and Mosman Council. The Harbour (East) Route- From the Harbour Bridge this route skirts the foreshores of the main harbour at Cremorne Point and Mosman Bay, past Taronga Zoo and Middle Head then via Balmoral and Chinamans Beach to the Spit. 5hrs 15mins The Middle Harbour (West) Route - This route diverges from the main harbour route at Ben Boyd Road then north via Barry and Young Streets to Middle Harbour at Primrose Park, following waterfront properties to Quakers Hat and Beauty Point then via waterfront reserve as far as Spit Bridge. 2hrs 35mins Spit Bridge to Manly Walk This walk, through sections of the Sydney Harbour National Park, Council foreshore reserves and beaches, provides one of the finest walks in the environs of a major city anywhere in the world. Starting and finishing close to water level at beachside suburbs, midway the walk climbs up through the National Park over native coastal heath past Aboriginal rock carvings to the heights at Balgowlah offering expansive views across to the Heads guarding the entrance to the harbour. In places the routes involves moderately steep climbs up steps cut into dramatic rock outcrops affording glimpses of secluded beaches below and overhanging slabs of ochre-stained sandstone above. Generally however the grades are gentle, bearing in mind that these are bush tracks rather than sealed suburban walkways. 3hrs For more details see the ‘Manly Scenic Walkway’ brochure at www.manly.nsw.gov.au Planning Your Walks The suggested routes, both red and green, offer permutations that provide walks of varying length, difficulty and scenery. While the text describes starting at the Harbour Bridge and finishing at Manly, the direction can be reversed and a number of different starting points are possible, especially when a circle walk is planned. Accessing a starting point by car presents the problem of parking and returning to it (hence the attraction of circle walks) but fortunately the area of the walks is well served by buses and ferries, and the rail stations at Milsons Point and Circular Quay are convenient for those wishing to begin or end their walk at the Harbour Bridge. Bus route numbers are shown on the map. Timetables and routes should be checked at the Transport Infoline tel. 131 500 or www.131500.com.au Following are a number of suggestions for walks of a few hours to a few days duration utilising public transport, but see the section on Companion Brochures to help you plan further walks to suit your own interests, fitness and time budgets. SHORT WALKS Cremorne to Zoo – Ferry from Circular Quay to Cremorne Point. Opposite the wharf take the steps up to the path that takes you down the east side of the peninsula, part of the East (red) route, and follow this as far as the ferry wharf at Taronga Zoo for a ferry back to the Quay. 1hr 4km Kirribilli to Cremorne – Ferry to Jeffrey Street or Milsons Point wharves (or train to Milsons Point station) then use the (green) Kirribilli and Kurraba Point loops before rejoining the (red) East route to Cremorne Point wharf for a ferry back to Circular Quay (or bus up to Military Road). 2hrs 6km Even shorter variants of this walk can be achieved by starting at any of the wharves on the Neutral Bay ferry circuit. Spit Junction to Spit – Bus on Military Road to Cowles Road. Walk north to join the Middle Harbour route at Bay Street to Quakers Hat and the Spit for return by bus. 1hr 20min 4km Mosman Wharf to Balmoral – Ferry to Mosman then north on green route as far as Wolger Road then branch east at Keston Avenue for the green route leading to Plunkett Reserve and buses at the Balmoral Esplanade. 1hr 3km Taronga to Balmoral – Ferry to Taronga Zoo wharf then join the East (red) route to Balmoral for bus connections 3hrs 30min 10km or retrace the previous route for a walk back to Mosman wharf. (See also Council websites for additional short walks) ONE DAY WALKS A Circle Walk – Starting at Milsons Point station take the main Harbour (East) route to the Spit for lunch then return via the West route (or vice versa). 8hrs A Walk/Ferry RoundTrip – Starting at Circular Quay take the public lift from the plaza east of the station up onto the Cahill Expressway walkway (or walk west through the Rocks to Cumberland Street) for access to the Harbour Bridge walkway, then at Milsons Point proceed by the Middle Harbour (West) route to the Spit for lunch and in the afternoon walk the Spit to Manly route returning to Circular Quay by the Manly ferry.
