WALK FROM SYDNEY’S ICONIC BONDI TO MANLY ON SPECTACULAR 80KM TRACK

Bondi to Manly Walk

Walking between two of the world’s most iconic beaches, Bondi and Manly, has become a reality with the opening of a new 80km urban walking track around Sydney’s breathtaking Harbour foreshore linking the two.

The track, which is rich in Indigenous heritage, passes through some of the city’s most spectacular coastal and Harbourside suburbs and features the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney
Opera House.

Marked with over 350 distinctive Aboriginal Whale Symbol signs, the urban walkway is easy to follow with a digital walking App available for download.

Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney, Stuart Ayres said, “The Bondi to Manly Walk is a great project to open the Harbour and its foreshore for the people of Sydney to enjoy and share with the world. Co-operation from all levels of government has created a cherished national asset which is arguably one of the most beautiful paths any keen walker can travel.”
