Not on big fella , there is only one way to Towra and thats by kite across the channell. Only very experienced kiters should attempt this crossing which is best achieved from the north side of Dolls.
If the wind drops whilst your over there its either the big swim back and unless ur a Kieren Perkins you are gonna drown ...or try and hike out thru the scrub to Kurnell road ( try doing it in bare feet and you will never kite again ) and then work out how ur gonna get back to Dolls....if you actually find ur way out.
You can get into a stack of trouble if the wind becomes very strong over there also... search this forum for the story about the kiter lofted 50metres into the bush and hung up in the trees.
Sorry to put a downer on things for you but 3 to 4 yrs minimum kiting before considering Towra....and even then think twice about going over.
cheers
