Balgowlah Heights Scenic Tour

This on road ride links the Seaforth to Shelley Beach Bike Path to the scenic attractions of Dobroyd Heights and Tania Park in Balgowlah Heights while keeping to streets with low traffic volumes and avoiding undue hill climbing as much as possible.

• Start at Pitt Street Balgowlah at the eastern end of the Seaforth to Shelley Beach Bike Path, or pick up this route anywhere along Woodland Street, Balgowlah or at Balgowlah Heights.
• Cross Balgowlah Road (take care as it is busy) and proceed up Woodland Street North to Sydney Road - this is a steady climb and not too steep.
• Cross Sydney Road at the traffic lights and proceed downhill along Woodland Street South - take care at the roundabout intersection at White Street - our first Prime Minister, Edmund Barton, lived in the large house on the southeast corner of the roundabout.
• At Lower Beach Street, turn left, and then first right into Bungaloe Avenue, a gradual easy climb.
• Cross Ernest Street and cycle or walk for a short climb and then turn left back into Woodland Street
• Turn left into Bareena Drive, Balgowlah Heights - on the corner is the Balgowlah Heights Bowls Club.
• Continue along Bareena Road to join the Dobroyd Point Scenic ride at Tania Park.
