How's this for a top event!!! ***\- A delightful Sunday hike / walk that includes Wendy's Secret Garden;*** ***\- A spectacular Sydney Ferry ride with views;*** ***\- A charming Pyrmont Food & Wine Festival for a sip\, perve\, and a pat; and*** ***\- "Cheers" at one of the best \(and secretive\) wine gardens in Sydneytown\.*** Do we do some fun shit in this group or what? **THE HIKE.** We meet at **Wollstonecraft Station** on the western side (you can't miss us) and after a quick chat, off we go. You won't believe that you're in the Aussie bush hiking just 5minutes after we've departed. From there, it's a unique mix of gardens, bush, neighbourhoods, views, and Sydney history: a) **Wendy's Secret Garden** \- a paradise of greenery; b) **McMahon's Point**; c) **Berry's Bay Lookout & Balls Head Reserve**; d) **The Coal Loader (tunnel pic)**; and e) **Berry Island Reserve**. ***[(IMPORTANT: AFTER YOU HIT ATTEND COME BACK HERE AND CLICK ON THIS LINK TO JOIN THE WHATSAPP GROUP FOR THIS EVENT)](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JAYsFdxH28eEEUMybCwU4q)*** The hike is 10kms in distance that isn't technically challenging, but there are enough ups / downs to test your fitness. Be chatty, share some laughs, but please be ready to move with passion. We'll finish at **Milson's Point Ferry Stop**, and it's a quick two stops to The Pyrmont Food & Wine Festival. **THE PYRMONT FOOD & WINE FESTIVAL.** This is a cracker of an event - right on the water, and it features: *"Free entry - everyone in the community is welcome, 30+ wineries, breweries and distilleries from NSW regions, and local food trucks.* I think 45minutes here is good. Please stay longer, or please leave when you fancy. Or? Please grab my arm and carry on... **THE SECRETIVE WINE GARDEN.** The wine festival will be crowded... so let's finish off properly at **Gallon Wine Bar** \- it's just up the road in Pyrmont\. If you've never been\, you'll grab your drink up front\, and when you get to the rear garden\.\.\. the eyes / mouth will open with that **"Wow. What a place"** look on your face. Transport to Town Hall or Central is easy from there. This will be a super fun Sunday session! See you there.
