点评:This walking trail includes the beautiful Hermitage Foreshore Track plus an additional section which starts at the Rose Bay ferry.
It includes Lyne Park and Rose Bay Beach which are not part of the Hermitage Track.
For tourists, this is an easier and more convenient walk than the Hermitage Track because you can catch the ferry from the Circular Quay in the city to Rose Bay to start the walk.
From the ferry, Lyne Park is stop #1. This is a large open, grassy park with a playground, cafe, toilets and a number of sports facilities including tennis courts. Rather than walk through the middle of the park, it is much more interesting to stick to the foreshore path and walk along the waterfront.
Stop #2 is Rose Bay Beach. You can swim here if you like but you will pass several other beaches along the way which are nicer and you will be finishing at Shark Beach at Nielsen Park which I think is the best spot for swimming.
From the beach, the next stretch is uphill to the start of the Hermitage Track. You are mostly walking along pedestrian pavements and urban streets until the Hermitage Track begins. It’s by far the least interesting part of the walk. Hang in there though because the foreshore walk along the Hermitage Track is worth it (see separate review).
Once you hit the track, you will be walking along boardwalks, bush paths and across sandy beaches and will avoid urban roads altogether.
Along the way, you will pass:
Stop #3 - Queens Beach, a tiny beach which all but disappears at high tide
Stop #4 - Hermit Bay, a pretty cove with a jetty and and picnic area
Stop #5 - historic Strickland House - another good picnic area and whilst you can’t go inside the house any more, you can wander the grounds
Stop #6 - Milk Beach, where you can swim while looking directly out at the Harbour Bridge and Opera House on the skyline
Stop #7 - Steele Point Cottage - just a quick glance at this historic gunners’ barracks
#8 is your final stop - Shark Beach & Nielsen Park. Here you’ll find changing rooms, outdoor showers, clean toilets and a kiosk.
NOTE:
* Once you leave Rose Bay, there are no facilities until you get to Nielsen Park so if you need to stock up on supplies or water or you need a bathroom, make sure to do this at Rose Bay. There’s a porta-loo at Strickland House but its not in great condition.
* The walk from Rose Bay is 3.5km (one way). It can be done in under an hour but you will probably want to allow extra time to stop at various lookout points.
翻译:这条步道包括美丽的 Hermitage Foreshore Track 以及从 Rose Bay 渡口开始的附加路段。
它包括不属于冬宫步道的莱恩公园和玫瑰湾海滩。
对于游客来说,这是一条比冬宫步道更轻松、更方便的步行路线,因为您可以从市内的环形码头搭乘渡轮前往玫瑰湾开始步行。
从渡轮出发,莱恩公园 (Lyne Park) 位于 #1。这是一个大型开放式草地公园,设有游乐场、咖啡厅、厕所和许多体育设施,包括网球场。与其穿过公园中间,不如沿着海滨小路走,沿着海滨走,有趣得多。
第二站是玫瑰湾海滩。如果你喜欢,你可以在这里游泳,但你会经过几个其他更好的海滩,你将在尼尔森公园的鲨鱼海滩结束,我认为这是游泳的最佳地点。
从海滩出发,下一段是上坡到冬宫步道的起点。在 Hermitage Track 开始之前,您大部分时间都沿着人行道和城市街道行走。这是迄今为止步行中最不有趣的部分。不过坚持住,因为沿着 Hermitage Track 步行前滩是值得的(见单独的评论)。
进入赛道后,您将沿着木板路、灌木丛小径和沙滩行走,并完全避开城市道路。
一路上,你会经过:
第 3 站 - 皇后海滩,一个在涨潮时几乎消失的小海滩
第 4 站 - Hermit Bay,一个带码头和野餐区的漂亮海湾
第 5 站 - 历史悠久的斯特里克兰之家 - 另一个不错的野餐区,虽然您不能再进入屋内,但您可以在场地内闲逛
第 6 站 - 牛奶海滩,您可以在这里游泳,同时直视天际线上的海港大桥和歌剧院
第 7 站 - Steele Point Cottage - 快速浏览一下这个历史悠久的枪手营房
#8 是您的最后一站 - 鲨鱼海滩和尼尔森公园。在这里,您会找到更衣室、室外淋浴、干净的厕所和售货亭。
笔记:
* 离开玫瑰湾后,在您到达尼尔森公园之前没有任何设施,因此如果您需要储备用品或水或者需要洗手间,请务必在玫瑰湾进行。 Strickland House 有一个洗手间,但状况不佳。
* 从玫瑰湾步行 3.5 公里(单程)。它可以在一个小时内完成,但您可能希望留出额外的时间在各个了望点停留。
