Heritage Trail (Baulkham Hills)
This walk goes through the Headwaters of Toongabbie Creek which was the earliest land to be settled in Baulkham Hills. Following the example of George Suttor who pioneered the citrus growing industry in The Hills, the district hosted fruit orchards until the 1950s. Now houses have replaced farms but lovely bushland can still be enjoyed in the valleys. Interpretive signs tell the stories of the early settlers.
