A somewhat uninspiring but pleasant bushwalk between Gordon and Thornleigh, which is mostly along the Lane Cove Valley Walk (which is part of the Great North Walk).
A short, dog-friendly loop track though a small reserve in Ku-ring-gai. The Blackbutt Creek Track follows Blackbutt Creek and Falls Creek through tall forest,
A one-walk along the Little Digger Track and Two Creeks Track, from East Lindfield to Roseville. Along the way we explore a “secret cave”, waterfalls and Aboriginal hand stencils.
An interesting, off-track loop in the Dundundra Falls Reserve. The route descends via Neverfail Creek and Kierans Creek, before returning via “Golf Ball Creek”.
The McCarrs Creek Loop is a challenging and partly off-track bushwalk. It takes the easy Duck Holes Trail down to the bottom, and returns by following McCarrs Creek.
The Lane Cove River Loop walk does a circuit from Browns Waterhole along both sides of the Lane Cove River, using some of the less-busy tracks in the Lane Cove National Park..
A loop through Irrawong Reserve and Ingleside Chase Bushland Reserve, exploring the many waterfalls and cascades along Mullet Creek
The Twin Creeks Reserve Loop follows both Water Dragon Creek and Peppermint in this Ku-ring-gai bushland reserve. This dog-friendly bushwalk uses signposted and informal trails to form a nice loop.
A varied loop in Sydney’s north that combines the Two Creeks Track and Little Digger Track. The bushwalk passes waterfalls, rainforest, creeks and sandstone caves.
The Cooyong Neverfail Trail Loop combines a number of firetrails to form a bushwalking or mountain-biking route through the Ku-ring-gai National Park near Terrey Hills.
