Hey all,

After a gloomy week of rain and grey skies in Sydney, the forecast is finally clearing up on Saturday! 🌞 If you’ve been itching to get outside, stretch your legs, and soak up some fresh air, this is a good opportunity.

We’re heading out on a coastal hike in the Royal National Park this Saturday, with great vantage points where we might spot humpback whales migrating north.

This is a beginner-friendly walk along some of Sydney’s most spectacular cliffs and ocean lookouts. It is still considered a challenging route so please have a moderate fitness level (it’s around 18km / 5 hours). More experienced hikers are also very welcome.
