Support my challenge to step up to breast cancer!
Right now, 58 people in Australia are diagnosed with breast cancer every day.
This August, I am taking part in Step Up to Breast Cancer for the mothers, sisters, daughters, friends and loves ones who are impacted by this devastating disease.
I am doing this to raise funds for National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) to support vital breast cancer research to help save lives.

Last walk- Palm beach Sunday 31st August
Monday 1st Sep My last walk took me back to Palm beach. With Michael, we did a nice lazy loop stopping for a coffee, then lunch and drinks. It was a warm, sunny day with Spring weather. We fell short by 3km, so on the way back I was dropped off and walked the last leg to meet my km goal. Unfortunately on Monday morning, I accidentally clicked on a link increasing my km to 174km! This was a mistake as I’m not capable of walking anymore! I’m just glad I made the 116km ? Share
Long Reef Saturday 30th August
Sunday 31st Aug Long Reef is my favourite place. I try and go there as often as possible, especially around sunset. It’s a great walk taking in stunning views and bird life. We have got to know a family of Peregrine Falcons that like to fish there and we see them on most visits. Long Reef is also a great place to spot migrating whales. Share
Great North Walk Thornleigh station to Hornsby station
Friday 29th Aug Today, I went for a bush walk along part of the Great North Walk that’s starts in Sydney and finishes in Newcastle. I have done this walk once before but forgot how hilly and rocky the terrain was. It’s easy for me to get to, but a little scary as you don’t see many walkers and there is a ‘great’ possibility of coming across a snake. I spent the first half hour scared out of my wits but soon started to enjoy the experience. Deep breathing helped!! Luckily all I saw was birds and beautiful scenery. I walked for over 10k and saw only three other walkers! Share
Avalon to Narrabeen 24th August
Wednesday 27th Aug On Sunday, I started at Avalon Beach again and walked to Narrabeen. I was feeling tired after treatment on Friday, but kept walking as I want to stay on track for the 116km. Again I was totally spoilt for views passing Bigola, Newport, Bungan, Mona Vale, Warriewood and Narrabeen beach. Share
Bondi Beach to Watson's Bay 26th August 2025
Wednesday 27th Aug Today I travelled to Bondi Beach to start my walk. This involved catching two trains and a bus! It was a sunny, warm but windy day and, as always, there were plenty of people sunbaking on the beach. I made my way up the headland back towards the city, passing some very pretty views of the ocean and harbour. There was also lots of inclines and steps to climb. . I arrived in Watson's Bay and decided to stop there, and have an ice cream on the beach in the sun, rather than walk onto Rose Bay. I caught the ferry back to Circular Quay just after sunset.
North Head 20th August
Saturday 23rd Aug 11 years ago, I was walking to North Head when I had an experience that would change the course of my life. I therefore always enjoy going back to this spot. It's a great place to walk with beautiful bush and magical views. Even better if a whale happens to be passing by! It was a rainy day, but I managed to stay dry for most of the walk. Share
Blue Mountain- Grand Canyon walk 17th August 2025
Saturday 23rd Aug I have done quite a few walks in the Blue Mountains, but this turned out to be one of my favourites! It involved a steep walk down lots of steps to get to the waterfalls and rainforest below. It was a cold day but the walking kept us warm. The climb back up was tough but it got the heart pumping! The views from the top were stunning and I flew my cape to get a few photos to show you all. Share
Milsons Point to Rose Bay 12th August 2025
Saturday 23rd Aug My third big walk took me across the Harbour Bridge, past Circular Quay, the Opera House and Botanic Gardens. It was a good day for walking; dry and cool. I went past some very expensive houses overlooking Sydney Harbour eventually ending at Rose Bay where I caught the ferry back to get a train home. A very pleasant day of walking. I truly appreciate having the time and energy to do this! Share
Palm Beach to Newport beach Sunday 10th August
Tuesday 12th Aug My second walk of the challenge was an enjoyable walk along the main headlands between Palm Beach and Newport beach on the Northern Beaches in Sydney. I had my raincoat ready, but managed to avoid any showers. I did catch a beautiful rainbow off the beach at Avalon. Magic really does happen there!
