Our first time doing this walk from Mt Kuringai to Berowra via the Benowie Track in Berowra Valley National Park. I tend to think I’ve already done the good walks around Sydney so I didn’t expect all that much, but it exceeded expectations. There’s very picturesque scenery along Calna Creek and Berowra Creek, a variety of forest types, water views including dark reflective pools, and other environments like salt marsh and mangroves. There are also steep sided hills along the creeks, which I like. Track notes at the end.

Track Notes
We used track notes in A Day in the Bush. There are sign posts which help decide where to go at track junctions. The start of the walk is a short walk from Mt Kuring-gai Station. You take the Benowie Track for much of the walk, and also a section of the 250km Great North Walk. It’s of moderate difficulty with a steep descent at the start and a steep ascent near the end. Worth taking the short side trip to Naa Badu Lookout when you meet a fire trail after the steep climb up from Sams Creek. You’ll need to take the train back to the start (unless you want to walk back again).
