The relatively unknown Wedgewood Fire Trail in Cowan ends at a large rock platform, which offers filtered bush views. It’s not the most exciting trail, but offers some great wildflower displays in Spring.
A long day bushwalk along ridges towards the Sheep Trig, deep in the Wollemi National Park. The route passes some cool sandstone formations and masses of post-bushfire wildflowers.
A short but very picturesque walk along Green Point Creek near Pearl Beach, which passes a waterfall and tranquil waterhole.
A short off-track loop in the D’Arcy Range (Wollemi NP) that visits some interesting sandstone formations, shelters and rock platforms.
A short, off-track bushwalk in Wollemi National Park off the Box Tree Clearing Trail (Lilavale Track), to visit and record a shelter with Aboriginal hand stencils.
A partly off-track bushwalk around the Waratah Track and up to the Arden Trig to catch the sunset.
An exploratory walk out along Shark Rock Ridge to Want Trig, with some stunning views over Cowan Creek. There is a rough trail all the way along the ridge, although some navigation skills and a topo map are essential.
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.
The Yanina Trail on Kincumba Mountain leads to the Colin Watters Lookout; you can return the same way or follow an informal mountain biking track to form a loop.
