A nice loop walk from Apple Tree Bay, combining a “secret track” up to the ridge with the the Mt Ku-ring-gai and Berowra Tracks. Some nice views and interesting caves and rock formations.
A challenging and mostly off-track loop walk, which follows the upper reaches of Kierans Creek past waterholes, cascades and sandstone caves.
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.
This short and partly off-track Flint and Steel Loop bushwalk connects Flint and Steel Bay and Flint and Steel Beach at West Head via a rough track around the headland. Low tide best.
The Blue Gum Walk is a short, popular and very scenic circuit near Hornsby through Berowra Valley Regional Park, passing the Fishponds on Berowra Creek and Washtub on Waitara Creek
An easy loop walk from Cherrybrook, which passes Refuge Rock and the spectacular Natural Arch in the Berowra Valley National Park.
The Barrenjoey Lighthouse Walk is a short, easy and popular loop walk that offers sweeping views over the Barrenjoey peninsula, Broken Bay and the Hawkesbury River.
The Basin Track itself is a pretty dreary walk… but head off-track and you’ll find Aboriginal engraving sites, a trig station and some great views over Pittwater.
On and off-track ramblings around the Perimeter Trail and Cowan Trail in search of wildflowers and Aboriginal rock art.
