I started this one at around 6:20 and finished at 20:20 taking just a little over 14 hours. The walk was around 52 kilometres. I had attempted this one before but did Hurstville to Parratmatta and went through Bankstown. I enjoyed it but I felt I didn't see much from Hurstville to Bankstown. I thought I hadn't included Lakemba in a walk before outside of walking alongside the T3 but I immediately recognized my surroundings as I was approaching
This one felt a bit easier to get to since I just Ubered it to Sutherland Station though I still wish I had gotten a bit more sleep. 😴 I also wish I remembered my sum cream because I got a bit sun burnt 😭

In this humidity where most of us are lying on the ground under an air conditioner or in front of a fan on full blast !
^(Why?)
Good on ya cobba
I think my longest single walk is about 15kms so I tip my cap.
Sydney is becoming better for walking with the new shared paths. You don’t just have to stick by the waterside anymore.
Nice! As someone who skateboarded 85km from Sydney to Wollongong for the sheer hell of it, I love this! 😁 [https://www.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/194moz/i_skateboarded_85km_from_sydney_to_wollongong/](https://www.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/194moz/i_skateboarded_85km_from_sydney_to_wollongong/)

That’s pretty cool, would be great to join a group doing such a thing
What shoes and socks do you use? I’ve tried walks with different footwear, but by 15kms, my feet are toast. Congratulations on that walk as well as your previous walks.
Went the wrong way.
Congrats. That’s a helluva walk, and i see the glittering retail opportunities of Miranda and Hurstville provided only minimal distractions.
I like what youre doing. I go on pointless urban walks too (no offense intended!) because you see lots of stuff and think even more. God knows what you think about, but you do. Im more likely to get bored on a bush walk than an urban walk.
I have to ask: Do you have a dog? And does thst dog go hide under the bed when it senses you’re preparing for one of your walks? I can imagine my dog would be leading me to the nearest train station after a few hours, or dialling an Uber.
But Cronulla are playing Gold Coast
This is very impressive. I stepped outside to empty the bins and decided I would do at a walk at home. Lol.
Did you do anything fun once you got to oarra? Or just take the train home?
Now that’s a walkabout and a half
Congrats
You’d have to run past Lakemba
You maintain a good average pace, OP! What are your highlights?
Hey op, how do you find these routes? Just walk and hope for the best or plan in advance? Sincerely, a wannabe long distance walker.
Impressive on any day but in the weather we’ve had — wow haha. Well done!
One question. Why the fuck?
