30 kms from Kirribilli to Bondi on a most scenic route.
After months of fundraising, we arrived at Kirribilli at 7.30 to begin our 30 kms Fred Hollows' fundraiser.
Gabby Hollows was there to send us on our way.
We crossed the Harbour Bridge.
We headed into the Botanical Gardens by Mrs Macquarie's chair.
Passing through Woolloomoo.
Clever sculptures on the Finger Wharf.
A glimpse of Elizabeth Bay House.
Walking towards Rose Bay.
Welcome coffee break after 13kms.
Luv Spot including Podiatry treatments for blisters and sprains. No problems for us, thank heavens!
Thank you, Coastrek, for such a creative trail. What a fabulous walk around Sydney Harbour.
Excellent path along the shoreline.
Views into the misty Harbour. Intermittent rain but lovely mild temperatures.
Vaucluse House.
Crossing the bridge at Parsley Bay.
A welcome rest at Watsons Bay.
Heading off from Watsons Bay.
Walking along Camp Cove.
The old ferry pier at Camp Cove,
A bit of nude bathing anyone?
An extra loop to South Head lighthouse.
Views to North Head.
We met some deep- sea divers - thought it was appropriate gear for our wet and misty walk.
Descending from The Gap lookout.
The view south. Walkers all along the coastal path.
Diamond Bay. Our equivalent of the Cliffs of Mohr.
Walking along cliffs near Dover Heights.
Misty view of the Harbour Bridge, Opera House and CBD.
First view of Bondi. Big seas today.
The finish line. Jan and Maire finish well before us but we are happy with our 8 hr +.
Adam Spencer gives us our medals. Lovely to see such support from so far afield.
Sore feet but such a satisfactory walk through such scenic Sydney views. Beautifully run by the Coastrek crew!

PS We had coffee at a cafe on North Head the next day and I could see the Coastrek route perfectly all around South Head. Such a spectacular view.
