Macquarie Park to Thornleigh (GNW) (Greater Sydney) |

| A very pretty walk, especially with sun through the trees and the babbling brook (aka Lane Cove River) alongside you much of the walk. No big views or waterfalls, but beautiful bush. Quite rocky (though level) in places - like a river bed, and keep your energy for the steep climb out at the end; but like Rob said, easily done in under 3 hours (without long breaks) - based on us being a relatively fit 60s couple. Several river crossings on rocks. No need for notes - the Great North Walk is very well signed, except for one river crossing 500m after passing the Thornleigh station sign. |

| A really surprising beautiful coastal and bush walk, not even touching suburbia. Wonderful balance of history and rugged coastline. though windy! As a reasonably fit 60s couple (who regularly do 1/2 day hikes), and usually walk in under the time given, we found the 3 hours to be accurate if including all optional side tracks and a 1/2 lunch break. Wild walks route map was excellent, although a little confusing at the end where it says go "uphill" and it's definitely downhill along the road after turning right at the La Perouse Works Depot. continue "down" the road til you see the mentioned speed bump and you'll be on the right track. |
