The walk down Magdala Creek to Martin's Lookout, returning via Glenbrook Creek is a pleasant day walk along a couple of nice creeks, with some great views across the Lower Blue Mountains from the lookout.

or 13:30 PM,  Car Park at Tench Reserve (of Tench Avenue and Jamison Road), Jamisontown (Penrith) for lunch.

Bushwalking at Rodriguez Pass of Blackheath (Blue Mountains) this Sunday Nov. 1

The walk may be a little hard for some walkers, but is also one the most rewarding. The Grose Valley really does feel like another world, a place where you can sit on a boulder in the creek and contemplate what would happen if you went bush and never returned to “civilization” even again.

Meeting time and place

10:00 AM, Car Park at the end of Govetts Leap Road at Blackheath

Please SMS 0402 817 164 or MSN petercai08@hotmail.com for your confirmation.

It is compulsory to wear hiking/bushwalking shoes/boots.

Nine of us had buffet at St Marys Band Club after then.

All of us enjoyed very much (with different experience).

Specific Coastal Walk at Bondi this Sunday Nov 8

There will be specific coastal walk this Sunday Nov 8 at Bondi region, in order to support our team member (Katie)'s Sculpture exhibition.

More infomation on Sculpture by The Sea

http://www.sculpturebythesea.com/

Katie's sculpture "shoppers"

young ladies on the Qing porcelain （清代花纹瓷器上的女人们）
the sculpture intends to evoke thoughts that one often encounters in a commercial world full of temptation: （雕塑还原了当今充满诱惑的现实社会）
will one gain salvation through material satisfaction or be lost in a life of luxury?
（有人愿意成为物质享受的奴隶，还是在这花花世界中无所适从）
the refined porcelain-like material in the shape of a shopping bag symbolises the exquisiteness yet fragility of such a life of luxury
（清代瓷器外型的购物袋暗喻了这种人们想“占有”但却又非常“易碎”的奢侈生活）


This coastal walk from Bondi to Googee (return) is only about 12 KM for 5 hours, starting at Bondi Beach, lunch break at Googee.

This is Sydney's best known coastal walk and for good reason. It's a stunning path that hugs the clifftops and beaches all the way to Googee. There are cafes or kiosks at every beach, lifeguards to look out for you in the surf and saltwater pools at Bondi, Bronte, Clovelly and Googee. The narrow notch of Clovelly Bay also offers good snorkelling on a calm day- you can see large blue groper and many other fish. This walk is throngerd with joggers on a weekend morning so aim for a weekday if you are able to or start early and finish the walk with breakfast at a beachside cafe.


Meeting time and place
10 AM the 8th of Nov (Sunday), at the crossing of Campbell Pde and Notts Ave of Bondi Beach.


How to go
a) Get tyhere by bus
    I) 333 prepay only, 380: Circular Quay (Stand E) to Bondi Beach;
    II) 361 Bondi Junction (Stand K) to Tamarama;
    III) 381 Bondi Junction (Stand A) to Bondi Beach.
b) Get there by Car
    It is easy to get there by car, but it is trick to find free car park. It is recommended parking car a little far from beach and walking (up to 1000 meters) to the beach.

Everyone is very welcome to join.

Please SMS 0402 817 164 or SMS petercai08@hotmail.com for your intention.

经过和Blackbird带领的墨尔本爬山帮深入的交谈，我们受益良多。

为了为大家创造一个更好的环境来享受澳洲的自然风光，锻炼身体，广交朋友。所以特别写了如下规章试行。不合理之处欢迎大家讨论并改正。


安全规章

安全是出去徒步的重中之重，照顾好自己就是对团队最大的帮助，特别是悉尼登山队经常会走一些有难度的路线，所以请大家严格遵守。

登山鞋（必备);
对讲机（二月份之后每人必备一个，Bushwalking会贴一些网站连接方便大家购买);
每天1.5-2升水（Bushwalking会在车里备一些，水没带够的TZ将被强制成本价购买);

请大家准时到达出发地，如有难处需提前一天提出。


难度

为了方便大家顺利并完成当天的徒步，徒步路线会标明如下难度，如不清楚自己的体力，请首先参加低难度的徒步，循序渐进，做到心中有数。

Bushwalking会经常的选择一些低难度的路线供大家休闲，以及新队员的锻炼。

容易（Easy）：爬升400米以下，时间5小时以下;
中等（Medium）：爬升400-600米，时间5-6小时;
中等偏难（Medium Hard）：爬升600-800米，时间6-7小时;
难（Hard）：爬升800-1000米，时间7-8小时左右;
很难（Challenging）：爬升1000米以上，时间8小时以上.


队费（试用，自愿为主非强迫）

为了方便定期的组织各种活动比如腐败，近期活动讨论会，团购必用的地图，装备，以及增加大家的凝聚力，适当收取队费是可行的。收取队费绝对不是为了盈利，也不是为了私用。

每位队员一次性收取＄10
暂由Bushwalking保管，将来会给合适的队员管理。

队费会在网上全部公开，方便大家查询。


交通

参考了墨尔本的经验，本着公平公正的原则，试用规章如下：

短途大家主动share车费：每位乘客需交 $0.2/km给司机。（税务所退税计算是 $0.7/km, 本地local俱乐部 $0.5/km），但全车不超过$0.4/km。（2人或两人以上都是$0.4/km）

如果司机不好意思收取，乘客将车费上交作为public fund。

长途旅游一律租车（比如来回300公里以上），所有费用全部平摊。

司机可以自愿遵守上述规章或使用其他方法。比如，短途来回低于50km不收费。
