The Great North Walk runs from Sydney to Newcastle in New South Wales. The main track, 250 kilometres in length, runs between the Obelisk in Macquarie Place in Sydney to Queens Wharf Tower in Bicentennial Park in Newcastle and is well sign-posted.
On this trip we walk the section from Hornsby to Berowra station, a total distance of 16km. The walk includes a stunning variety of wildlife and scenery and is a fabulous overnight experience.
This two-day overnight adventure follows the Great North Walk from Hornsby to Berowra Station, staying overnight at the waterside Crosslands Reserve. You will pass sandstone cliffs, creeks and shady eucalyptus trees.
On the first day you will cross bridges and waterfalls as we make our way to the first break at Tunks Ridge rest area for a cuppa. From here we pass over Berowra creek, following the stunning trail riverside before reaching the nights camp at Crosslands Reserve with a toilet block.
There is water at camp so you don t need to carry a heavy load. Sit back and rest your legs or go for an explore around the reserve as your guide prepares afternoon delights and dinner.
On day two you will wake to the sound of birds and fish jumping. After a hot cuppa and filling breakfast, the group sets off past the stunning mangrove estuaries. With a slow and steady climb, we reach the lookout to appreciate the 3.8km just walked. It s a beautiful view for photos. It s then back on an open fire trail for 3km to Berowra Station for a train ride back to Hornsby.
Once at Hornsby we will go past the cafes for a cuppa to celebrate the trip together before walking a short 10 minutes via the road back to our cars.
A good level of fitness is required for this hike. We take regular breaks, stop for plenty of photos and support each other. Expect to be hiking between 4.5-5 hours. Bring your walking poles for extra support up and down steps.
