A tough and sometimes painful climb to the Bairne Trig (TS681) and a search for Aboriginal engravings along the Bairne Trail
The Waratah Track is one of the longer West Head firetrails; while not the most exciting bushwalk, hidden along its length are a number of Aboriginal engraving sites and lookouts.
A rough track past the “Arthur” trig station and multiple Aboriginal rock engraving sites to Mount Murray Anderson. Great views from the end of the ridge.
An easy walk along the Chiltern Trail (a firetrail) is combined with some challenging off-track detours to Crystal Creek, rock outcrops and a trig station.
The Sphinx to Bobbin Head loop is a varied and interesting bushwalk from the Sphinx Memorial in North Turramurra down to Cowan Creek and back via Bobbin Head.
The Cowan Track and Wilkins Track are both accessed via the Perimeter Trail in Duffys Forest, providing easy access to two lookouts over Cowan Creek and an Aboriginal engraving site.
The hike to Careys Peak (1,544m asl) involves a hard slog up the Corker Trail, with almost all the altitude gain in the first few kilometres. The reward is sweeping views from the peak towards the coast.
Mount Maria (711m) is the highest point on the island, and offers sweeping views up and down the Tasmanian coast from the top. A steep walk up with some scrambling required just before the summit.
