Looking back at Manly Wharf
One advantage that Sydney holds over Melbourne is the easy access to nature. You really don't need to travel far to get a feeling like you have escaped the city. A well known and highly recommended walk is the 9 kilometre hike from Manly to The Spit (towards the city). The walk takes you through bushland, across tiny beaches and past multi million dollar homes on the waterfront. I decided to do the walk yesterday afternoon to kick start my weekend. I began at the Manly Wharf and made my way to The Spit, where I cooled off with a dip in harbour before jumping on a bus back to Manly.

Looking towards North Head
Small beaches dotted along the way
First glimpses of the city (and the Harbour Bridge ... just!)
Bushland
Sydney people love their boats
Another little beach
And another!
Clear water
I wonder how much these homes would be?

Hi Anna,
Yes it's a fabulous walk! I remember doing it a few times years ago with a friend who lived in Sydney. Once about two months after a fire had ravaged the bushland, and it was all starting to sprout giving that eerie black and bright green look. Weather looks perfect...no doubt you have seen Melbourne's weather on the news! very wild! Love Fiona
