The Callicoma Walk is a loop bushwalk in suburban Cherrybrook, which follows Berowra Creek and Nyrippin Creek through temperate rainforest. A short road section completes the circuit.
A long bushwalk along the Canoelands Ridge firetrail and down to Gentlemans Halt campground, with a couple of side-trips to a trig point and lookout. Some nice Hawkesbury River views.

A partly off-track bushwalk in Marramarra National Park, which initially follows the Duckponds Ridge Trail (a firetrail). The last bit down to The Duckpond, a deep pool on Marramarra Creek, has no track.
