A loop bushwalk to Big Jims Point in Popran National Park, which offers some nice views over the Hawkesbury River. The walk is mostly on firetrails, but you can add a more challenging side-trip to the Berowra Trig.
An off-track bushwalk from the Great North Walk to the top of Mount Kariong, which is (arguably) the equal tallest peak in Brisbane Water National Park.
A pleasant half-day loop bushwalk from Little Wobby, which passes an Aboriginal rock art site, a secluded beach, many informal lookouts and an old WWII embankment. Access is via ferry and a free permit is required.
An interesting off-track loop walk traversing the ridges around Mount White on the Central Coast. The Mount White Bush Reserve has a number of Aboriginal rock art sites and a trig station on Mount White.
A fun loop bushwalk in Bouddi National Park that uses some informal trails. The route descends to Iron Ladder Beach, before following the coastline and returning via Box Head. Low tide essential!
The Mullet Creek Tunnel (or more accurately, culvert) was built in 1889 as part of the Sydney to Newcastle railway line construction. The historic tunnel is reached via firetrails and a bushwalking track from the Mullet Creek Trail down to the creek.
An informal bushwalking trail connecting two firetrails in Brisbane Waters National Park passes the Mega Cave – an enormous shelter under a tall cliff. Some navigation skills essential.
A short but very picturesque walk along Green Point Creek near Pearl Beach, which passes a waterfall and tranquil waterhole.
A very short walk on an unmarked trail takes you to the top of Elephant Rock, which offers some of the best views on the Central Coast.
It’s a short walk to Warriwarri Lookout and a great spot to watch the sun set – but the views are largely obscured by trees.
