A mostly off-track hike from Warrimoo in the Blue Mountains down Glenbrook Creek to Glenbrook station via Duck Hole and the Blue Pool. Hard work but great for a hot day as you'll get pretty wet!
Starts at Florabella St in Warrimoo (if driving) or Warrimoo statuion. Finishes at Glenbrook station (with two exit tracks, from Duck Hole or Blue Pool).
9030-3N Penrith (1:25,000)
9030-4S Springwood (1:25,000)
The clearly-marked track descends from Florabella St (Warrimoo) into Florabella Pass, and generally descends for about 4km. Soon after the junction with a track up to Plateau Parade (Blaxland), look for a steep track down to Glenbrook Creek. Once you reach Glenbrook Creek, there's no more tracks... wade (and occasionally swim) down the creek until you reach Duck Hole (approx 3km). You can exit at Duck Hole with an obvious track up to Glenbrook station. Or continue another 3km to Blue Pool - there's still no clear track, but there is a faint trail which means you can stay out of the water for this section!

The walk (and a few variants) are covered in Take a Walk in the Blue Mountains (John & Lym Daly), but the book references a track that no longer exists.
