Discover Sydney walking with the Vegan Society
Manly Dam Park Circuit Track
Some steep sections, mostly easy walking.
11am - 4pm, Saturday 14 March 2009
Manly Dam was built in the late 19th century to supply the seaside town with water. Today it's well known to locals as a spot for kayaking, water skiiing, fishing and walking. Most visitors focus on Manly's harbour walks and overlook the dam, which is a shame. A good track around the lake runs for just over seven kilometres and, if there's been sufficient rain, passes small waterfalls along the way. The surrounding bushland boasts 300 species of plants, including huge gum trees, and 80 species of birds, among other wildlife such as turtles, possums, bandicoots and swamp wallabies.
Time: Start at 11am. Walk will be completely finished by 4pm. Total walking time: 3 hours.
Bring: Lunch and water
Cost: Free ($7 parking if coming by car)
Please RSVP: By email to Greg at info@vegansocietynsw.com or phone 0400 492 157. If you are unable to make it on the day, please phone so we don't get worried!
Getting there: By car, enter the Manly Warringah War Memorial Park (the official name of Manly Dam) at King St and park inside the entrance. The closest bus stops at Condamine St, Manly Vale and from there it is a 1.5km walk to the park entrance. If you would like a lift, please phone Greg on 0400 492 157.
Meeting place: Meet at the southern end of the Manly Dam bridge, just inside the main gate, to the right.
More information: Official Manly Dam website

Discover Sydney walking with the Vegan Society
Taronga Zoo to Balmoral Beach
Easy to moderate, some stairs and hills involved.
11am - 4pm, Sunday 14 December 2008
Walk to Balmoral via Bradleys Head, Clifton Gardens, Georges Head and Middle Head. Magnificent scenery and some great history to explore.
Walk starts promptly at 11am and can be accessed by public or private transport and you can choose your own finishing time. Walk will be completely finished by 4pm.
Meeting place: Outside of Taronga Ferry Wharf
Time: 11am
Transport: Best way is ferry from Circular Quay at 10:40am
Bring: Lunch and water
Cost: Free
One of the most picturesque walks around Sydney Harbour takes you from Taronga Zoo to Balmoral Beach.
Along the way you will pass through national park and a number of sites of historical interest as well as taking in amazing views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and city centre all the way around to the heads.
The walk itself should take you around 2 hours with public transport available to take you back to the start.
Here is a good map of the walk produced by the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust.
The recommended itinerary is to start at Taronga Zoo Wharf which can be reached by bus or ferry. For the best bus route for you consult the very handy 131500.info website.
The first section winds around Bradleys Head, pass Taylors Bay, and over to the historic Clifton Gardens and Chowder Bay. This should take about 1 hour 40 minutes and you can rest here at the cafe and kiosk.
Highlights on the remainder of the walk to Balmoral include the view from Georges Head and Middle Head Road, and Balmoral itself.
Once you reach Balmoral you could have something to eat, take a swim to cool down, or just have a well-deserved rest on the beach.
Then you can either catch the 238 bus back from Raglan St back to Taronga Wharf or if you have the energy walk the alternative route back to Clifton Gardens and from there back to Taronga Wharf.
Please RSVP by email godfrey_ken@hotmail.com or phone 0407104810 so I know who to expect.
See you then!!

(The previous event to see the movie Fast Food Nation has been cancelled and replaced by this one. Sorry.) The Vegan Society is going out to Newtown to have dinner and to see the film Who Killed the Electric Car?. This documentary looks at the birth and death of the electric car, as well as the role of renewable energy and sustainable living in the future. The film explores the roles of automobile makers, the oil industry, the US government, batteries, hydrogen vehicles, and consumers in limiting the development and adoption of this technology. With Martin Sheen, Tom Hanks and Mel Gibson.

"'Who Killed the Electric Car?' and 'An Inconvenient Truth' serve as a powerful and important one-two punch"
- Michael Moore

If you are interested in joining us for either the dinner, the movie, or both please contact info@vegansocietynsw.com.
