Route Details
BouddiGems - Maitland Bay & Bulimah Spur Circuit
This takes you down to Maitland Bay, and although you could turn right towards Killcare prior to getting to Maitland Bay, why would you ever go near this gorgeous beach without walking along it.
So I'm taking you along the beach to the northern end, even clambering along the rock platform if you have the time, and then head back to the south end again.
Start heading up the path and then turn left towards Killcare.
Follow the stunning coast path until you get to the Gerrin Point Lookout. Then backtrack a hundred meters or so until you see the small track heading left by some large rocks. Theres a scratched arrow on the rocks.
Follow this small path into a little valley and then up the steep slope to Bulimah Lookout. There's a rope to help you up one of the steeper rocks.
After enjoying Bulimah Lookout over Killcare Beach head back along the Bulimah Spur Trail towards the carpark, making sure to stop at some of the lookouts to the right along the way for a lovely coastal view to Maitland Bay.
After the tree fern glade (you'll know when you see it) look for a small path on your left that heads up the slope near the houses. This takes you to Marie Byles Lookout from which you can see the Sydney CBD buildings on a clear day and a lovely view of Palm Beach and the Pittwater.
It's a short distance from here to the MB carpark and the end of the walk.

About the Calorie Calculator
Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.
When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.
Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
