Embark on a New Adventure: Experience a unique blend of bushwalking and pathways on this scenic 11km journey. Join us as we traverse from Manly to the stunning Seaforth Bushlands, discovering a fresh route back. Feel the invigorating energy of nature while enjoying this delightful trek!

Starting Point: We will kick off at the iconic Nautilus Shell Sculpture near Gilbert Park. From there, we'll navigate around Manly Oval at Ivanhoe Park, before delving into the charming back streets close to Andrew "Boy" Charlton Aquatic Centre.

Let's Go! We'll enjoy the spacious paths alongside Manly Golf Club as we make our way toward Balgowlah, where we will take a brief break at Roseberry Street Cafe. Take three minutes to hydrate, enjoy an apple, or grab a snack from your backpack while mingling with fellow walkers!

Onward to Seaforth: Our journey continues up the path to Seaforth, where you’ll be amazed by a colony of bats—definitely a photo op! We’ll pass through a tunnel leading us onto the Seaforth Trail. Enjoy 1.5km of easy bushland walking, where you can observe charming mini rapids and picturesque mini waterfalls, immersing yourself in the forest ambiance.

Midway Break: After strolling alongside Burnt Bridge Creek, we'll navigate a narrow but manageable section before heading uphill past Seaforth Bowling Club to the Wakehurst Golf Club. Here, we’ll enjoy a 30-minute lunch break with food and coffee options available, or you can bring your own! Relax on the balcony and take in the breathtaking views!
