The Urban Walks team put their best foot forward for the ‘New Product Workshop’ held by Destination NSW at the Sofitel Hotel Darling Harbour on June 9th.

Designed as an opportunity to present new, ‘export-ready’ products to potential buyers from Inbound Tour Operators (ITOs) and Online Travel Agent (OTAs), develop trade relationships and generate new business, the all-day event proved the ideal stage for Urban Walks to showcase its unique suite of walks.

Today is National Sunscreen Day. And the best way to recognise its importance is to do what we do every time we're on The Emerald Way and put on a generous covering of Factor 50, your favourite hat and your sunnies and walk smart!

Our 'Chief Walker' Tracey is currently in the UK and has been out walking (naturally) virtually every day of her visit. The colours of sky and sea in this photo taken along the clifftop trails of her native Devon reminds this observer of The Emerald Way. Which is to say, 'Absolutely stunning!'

Our walks often traverse the Sydney Harbour National Park. We are so lucky that we can for the 392-hectare (970-acre) park was only created progressively, from 1975.⁠
The park is home to superb swimming spots, bushwalking tracks and picnic areas. The opportunity to see native wildlife living in rare pockets of bushland once common around Sydney is very special. Plus you’ll see everything from convict-built buildings and military fortifications to Aboriginal sites and a heritage lighthouse. And with the harbour's staggering coastline creating an endless natural lookout, the park's jaw-dropping views simply have to be seen to be believed.⁠

Mark Sissons, a renowned travel journalist and photographer, was commissioned by the Vancouver Sun to travel to Sydney and focus on ‘the best of Sydney and environs’.

‘The Emerald Way’, Sydney’s sublime coastal walk, was the perfect introduction for him.

DRINKS TASTE BETTER AT SUNSET

Just last month, the online trend-spotting magazine ‘Broadsheet’ declared, ‘Drinks taste better at high altitude.’

It caught our attention because their use of the descriptor ‘high’ turned out to be more about attitude than altitude as they went on to say, ‘On a warm summer’s evening, there’s nothing better than watching the sun go down over the city with a drink in hand.’

We couldn’t agree more. Which is why we’ve made ‘sunset drinks’ a feature of all of our guided walks along The Emerald Way*.

Meanwhile, the style gurus at Urban List recently had this to say about one of our favourite venues.
‘Nestled on the harbour near Vaucluse, Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel is a Sydney institution known for its Hamptons-chic style fit-out (the interiors are seriously on point), mouth-watering seafood (think alllll of the oysters) and sweeping views of our stunning city.’
‘….the luxe bayside retreat boasts boutique contemporary accommodation, slick waterfront dining and a Beach Club, where all the action takes place. Blue and white umbrellas, hidden flamingos and nautical errrrything set the scene for an endless summer and we can guarantee there’s nowhere else you’d rather be on sun-drenched Sydney afternoon.’

Guess what? Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel is where we stay on the first night of our walks along The Emerald Way.

There was more good news to come when an article in Concrete Magazine headlined ‘Six Places to Watch the Sunset in Sydney with a Cocktail in Hand,’ bestowed its number one ranking upon the Watsons Bay Boutique Hotel and Beach Club.

The Magazine went on to say, ‘At Watsons Bay, a beautiful body of water separates you from the bustling CBD, so it’s spectacularly placed to watch the sun descend beyond the city skyline.’

What more can we say other than, "See you there soon!"

SUPPORTING ‘OUR PLANET, OUR HEALTH’ - THIS YEAR’S WORLD HEALTH DAY THEME

World Health Day is a global health awareness day celebrated every year on 7 April, under the sponsorship of the World Health Organization (WHO). The date marks the anniversary of the founding of WHO in 1948. Each year, a theme is selected to highlight a priority area of public health concern in the world.

In the midst of a pandemic, on World Health Day 2022, WHO will focus global attention on urgent actions needed to keep humans and the planet healthy and foster a movement to create societies focused on well-being.

Through the ‘Our planet, Our health’ campaign, WHO urges governments and the public to share stories of steps they are taking to protect the planet and their health and prioritize well-being societies.
At an individual level Urban Walks embraces the ‘Take action, inspire others’ plan that WHO outlines because front and centre in its recommendations is the suggestion to walk or pedal to work at least one day a week.
There is one other opportunity we’d like to highlight for all of those budding filmmakers amongst us. As part of celebrating World Health Day, WHO is sponsoring the ‘Health for All Film Festival’ culminating in the selection of one film for the ‘Our planet, Our health’ award.
This is how WHO snapshots the opportunity:

“Films are a powerful way to raise awareness, improve understanding and encourage action so that this festival aims to contribute to health promotion and education about health.
The WHO ‘Health for All Film Festival’ invites independent filmmakers, communities, students, and film schools from around the world to submit their original short films on health. The festival's aim is to recruit a new generation of film and video innovators to champion and promote global health issues.”
This is how you can get involved:
• Visit - https://www.who.int/initiatives/the-health-for-all-film-festival
• Watch the YouTube playlist; Choose your favourite film and post a comment, using , .
• Submit your short film for the ‘Our planet, Our health’ award! Submissions will be open from 30 October 2022 to 30 January 2023.

REMEMBERING OUR FIRST 'FRIENDS AND FAMILY' WALK.⁠
⁠
It's been over a year since we 'test-walked' The Emerald Way with this special crew. We learnt a lot and we can't thank all that took part enough.⁠ (It's kind of interesting that the weather today looks very much like it did back then!)

Coastrek 2022 Coming Soon!

Urban Walks has always been a big fan of Coastrek with both of our female directors, Tracey and Andrea, having completed the trek on multiple occasions. They rate it as “not to be missed.”
From humble origins in 2009 when just 40 participants took part, Coastrek has since inspired more than 42,000 people to walk more than 2,000,000 kilometres and in the process raise over $37million for charity.
For those who haven’t heard of Coastrek, the event is a team trekking challenge focusing on fun, fitness, friends and fundraising. Teams of four walk 30, 45 or 60km along some of Australia’s most spectacular coastlines in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Margaret River.
The event was created and continues to be organised by ‘Wild Women On Top’, a social purpose business that inspires and empowers women to lead adventurous lives they love.
In 2022 their goal is to raise over $7 million for ‘Beyond Blue’ the independent, not-for-profit organisation working to reduce the impact of anxiety and depression so that everyone in Australia can achieve their best possible mental health.
At Urban Walks we embrace the view that physical exercise, being in nature, setting goals and prioritising time to connect with loved ones are all important for maintaining good mental health and recognise that it is this thinking that also lies at the heart of Coastrek
By raising funds for Beyond Blue, the community of dedicated people who create lasting positive change for mental health and well being in Australia is expanded.
If you’d like to get your friends together to form a team and be part of Australia’s premier charity hiking challenge for women here are the dates:
Sydney - 25 March 2022; Melbourne - 27 May 2022; Brisbane – 15 July 2022; Adelaide – 2 September 2022; Margaret River – 28 October 2022.

Enjoy!
