Great North Walk Part 1

The Great North Walk is one of Australia's most famous bushwalks, covering 250km between Sydney and Newcastle. We thought it would be a great activity for deUTSch, albeit a little long, so we have decided to break it up into sections with the first part on Sunday 7th October.

We will be starting at Circular Quay, meeting outside McDonalds across from the station at 10:30am. From there we will be catching the Ferry to Hunter's Hill where the walking will commence. The walk will take us through suburbia and bush along the Lane Cove River until we get to Chatswood West. From there we'll be taking a bus to the nearest train station and returning home.

This will be our easiest walk so far, so don't be put off by the thought of muscle pain and fatigue.

When: Sunday 7th October
Meeting point: Out the front of McDonalds Circular Quay at 10:30am. McDonalds is directly opposite the station and easy to find.
What you'll need: Plenty of water, comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, food, camera, money for public transport, gute Laune :-)
Difficulty: The walk is roughly 10km and is very flat. It's a good walk for beginners, but should also provide enough beautiful scenery to satisfy the hard-core among us.
Duration: 3 hours walking + travel time

If you plan on coming please either leave a comment on this post or let us know and we'll know to look out for you at Circular Quay. Hope to see you there!

Film Night

Those of you on the ball would have noticed that there is currently a German arts festival in Sydney at the moment - GerMany Faces. We will be going to the film night on Tuesday 25th September at the Chauvel Cinema in Paddington to see a double feature - Die Moerder sind unter uns (The Murders are Among us) and Die Suenderin (The Sinner). Both are classics from just after the war and will be presented in German with English subtitles.

We will not be organising tickets, please book your own (either at the box-office or online at moshtix). It will cost $14 for students to see both films. For more details please click here. All welcome.
