Join the Photography group for a heritage walk around Balmain to discover its early settlement and industrial history. We will have an initial coffee stop at Circular Quay and then lunch at the Royal Oak Hotel in Balmain. The walk is about 8 kilometres long and will take about 2½ hours.
Please note that we will be walking on suburban streets that are at times steep with uneven surfaces, and there are a number of stairs to be navigated. Once we begin there will be little chance for sitting down and resting.

At the next Travel Chat meeting Chris Hingerty and Mike McGovern will recap their recent five week adventures in Alaska, Yukon and Vancouver Island. They designed their own itinerary, mostly in remote locations, well off the typical tourist track.
We will be able to view the spectacular scenery they experienced on their cruise, light plane and kayak.
If you have travelled to Alaska and Canada or cruised the Inside Passage or rode on the Rockies Mountaineer, please come along and share your experiences so we can all learn more about this remote and stunningly awesome part of the world.
Join the Bushwalking Group for a 10km walk from the Sphinx Memorial in Ku-ring-gai National Park to Bobbin Head. This walk is considered of moderate/hard difficulty – our most difficult walk to date. The first 4.5km is downhill but includes some deep steps, whilst the last 4.5 km is an aerobic uphill climb via the fire trail, back to the car park.
There are some great views along the Cowan Creek with lovely bush outlooks and spring wildflowers along the fire trail. Good walking shoes are required, and a single walking pole may be an advantage.
For lunch there are some good options at the nearby North Turramurra shops.
