Botany Bay Discovery Centre to Cape Baily: This track explores the heath and the great views between the Visitor Center and Cape Baily Lighthouse. This walk follows a mix of service trails, bush tracks, rock platforms and sand dunes as it makes its way through the park. You will discover expansive views of the park and out to sea, there are even the occasional glimpses of the city.

Ridge Top Ramble of Royal NP (9:00 AM-12:00/12:30PM, lunch at picnic area of Audley till 13:00PM) – Botany Bay National Park (1 hour drive away) – Discover Centre to Cape Baily (14:00 PM-17:00PM).

Meeting time and places
9:00 AM car park of Audley (take Princes Highway past Sutherland to the sign-posted turn off to the Royal National Park, drive to Audley and park your car across the bridge on the right side);  
14:00 PM at the corner of Gannon Street and Capitan Cook Dr of Kurnell (several meters before the gate entrance to Botany Bay National Park).

Please SMS 0402 817 164 for confirmation so appropriate transportation may be arranged or you are welcome to join for any track by organizing own transportation.

Flat Rock and Magazine Tracks (Circuit, 9.5 KM, 3.0-3.5 Hrs): This is a fine bushwalk above Middle Harbour. Deep in the bush it is easy to forget you are walking in a big city – until a waterskier buzzes past. The Flat Rock track is a very easy shady walk by the harbour and you could just get to the pretty cover at Flat Rock and return. If you have time, climb into the upper reaches of Bantry Bay, then loop back to yhr starting point through Killarney Heights;

Central Garigal National Park (Circult,16 KM, 6.5 Hrs, climb 718 M): Travelling through the center of Garigal National Park this track explores Middle Harbou r Creek on both the eastern and the western sides . This track is great for fit experianced walkers looking for a feel of what Garigal has to offer. Davidson Reserve/Park in the middle of this walks is a good opportunity to take a break and enjoy the serenity of th e creek;

Middle Harbour Creek Loop (15.1 KM, 5Hrs 45 mins, climb 571 M): This walk explores the upper reaches of Middle Harbour Creek, starting and ending at the great parklands at Davidson Park in Garigal National Park. There are plenty of nice spots along the way to rest and enjoy the view, there are several sandstone overhangs, plenty of water views and most of the walk enjoys shade by the surrounding bushland;

Casuarina and Carroll Creek Tracks (Circuit, 7 KM, 2.5 Hrs): Starting at Davidson Park, this walk first explores the eastern banks of Middle Harbour Creek before heading up Carroll creek. Near the top of Carroll Creek this walk returns to Davidson Park via the higher Casuarina track. This walk gives great views of the Middle Harbour and Garigal National Park from two distinctly different vantage points. There are also interesting rock formations and some Aboriginal heritage to appreciate along the way;

The Lyrebird Track (Return, 5.3 KM, 2 Hrs): This pleasant return walk starts from the end of the Davidson Reserve picnic area and follows the Lyrebird Track through the bush along the edge of Middle Harbour Creek to the stepping stone crossing on Carroll Creek. The stepping stones are a great place to take a break before returning along the same route to Davidson Reserve/Park for a picnic.
