Our walking group is a fabulous Melting Pot of cultures, backgrounds, professions and life experiences. We love our Walks. We are INCLUSIVE OF EVERYONE………if you’re: kind, nice, fun, polite and respectful. 🌸😘🌸 On that note…. In recent times my walks are at capacity, which I’m capping at 40. Regulars, regardless of numbers are always welcome….just PM me if you’re on a waitlist. 🌸♥️🌸 We walk at a medium pace of 4kms per hour, stopping for breaks and to take in the views. It is a reasonable expectation that the group stays together. It is your responsibility to stay in line of sight. If you cannot walk at this pace, I will let you know of the next get out point. This is not negotiable. 🌸🐌🌸 As this is a walking group, bikes, ebikes, scooters, escooters, and pogo sticks are not compatible or welcome. 🌸👣🌸 Grading for my walks:

🎭 Anyone Up for a Musical(The Greatest Showman)?

Hi everyone! I wanna watch musicals and often keep an eye on TodayTix for last-minute discounted tickets. Sometimes I want to go see a show but don’t have anyone to go with, so I thought I’d create this group for others in the same situation. The idea is simple: if a good deal pops up, we can get a small group together and enjoy a musical (COME ALIVE! The Greatest Showman) I’m currently planning to see a show " COME ALIVE! The Greatest Showman " on Wednesday, 17 June, if I can grab a ticket through TodayTix. If you’re interested in joining, feel free to come along! Most members will probably be in their 20s and 30s, but everyone is welcome. Whether you’re a huge musical theatre fan or just looking for a fun night out, I’d love to meet fellow musical lovers around Sydney.

George's River Sea to Source 2 Wooloware to Hurstville.

Part 2 The plan over winter is to walk all of the Georges River from Sea (Botany Bay) to Source (somewhere near Appin in Sydney's south) All up about 96 km, split into stages. Second stage is keeping it public transport friendly. So, we are walking from Woolooware Station to Hurstville station. This is a mix of some urban walks, some shared walking/bike paths and some parks. So you don't need any hiking gear, just walking shoes, 2-3 liters of water, hats (yes you can get sun-burnt in winter) You get some history, some urban walks, and definitely good company. This is pretty flat - so 15-ish KM is OK for this group. Start is [WhatThreeWords. ](https://what3words.com/tanks.lined.sooner)Which you can use in your favourite navigation app to find us. More simply Wills Rd side of the station **Public Transport** Train from Central to Woolooware is Platform 19 at 6:52am - gets in at 7:55am There are other options from elsewhere. Please comment if that is your plan. **Driving** I may park near Hurstville station and get the train from Platform 2 at 7:16am to also get to the start at 7:55am. There is some parking near Woolooware as well, and you can get a train back to the start. For parking - allow extra time, as this is never guaranteed.
