Pogson Trig and the Loop That Isn’t

The Pogson Trig Loop combines the Blue Gum Walk, Pogson Trig Trail, Quarry Firetrail and Benowie Track (Great North Walk). Sections of this loop require approval (as it crosses behind the Hornsby rifle range), or the walk can be accessed from both Westleigh and Hornsby to avoid the closed sections of track.
