Spring Epic! Woolooware, Botany Bay, Brighton-Le-Sands, Wolli Creek 21km Medium

From Woolooware Train station we head for the newly curated foreshore walk around southern reaches of Botany Bay and find our way to the Captain Cook Bridge which lifts us over the Georges River and into Sandringham. We follow the western shoreline through to Ramsgate, where we stop at local shops and a bathroom for our lunch break. LOTS OF TASTY FOOD AT THIS LOCATION!

After lunch we head into little known walking tracks that take us through Scarborough Ponds and exit these parks by returning to the Botany Bay foreshore, with fantastic views of planes landing at Sydney airport. We stop at Kyeemah, for a bathroom break and a snack for the hungry ones!

We have 4 km to go, which takes us along local creeks and past an historic, extensive 19th Century Chinese market garden, which is one of the last working farms in the Sydney metropolitan area.

We finish up at Cooks Rover Rowers for a tasty beer or other refreshment. Wolli Creek train station is just 600 meters away.

I aim to complete the day’s walking by 4:30 pm.
