Hike Summary
One of the longer day walks in Berowra Valley National Park this walk mostly follows Berowra Creek along the Great North Walk. Excellent views of the creek can be expected especially at places like Crosslands and Fishponds. Be sure to pace yourself and take regular breaks. Crosslands and Tunks Ridge Reserve are popular rest places. Note this walk was re-routed in early 2016 to go via the streets of Hornsby Heights. This re-route is due to the multi-agency decision to close the Fishponds to Steele Bridge section of the Benowie Track. This decision has upset many people and the protest continues.

Paola Stefani – I reckon we walked past this seat doing Oxfam
Sally Hammond we probably did but my memory is a lttle foggy … I can’t remember such lovely stairs! I do remember mountain goat trials, boulders and heaps of tree roots that we tripped on!
? Sally Hammond we might have been going too fast ??
I reckon one of us took a photo at this spot – we came down these stairs – before the nasty climb in the dark that flattened me
Sally Hammond quite possible I don’t remember going up those stairs but we may not have noticed them coming down “smashed” as we were!!
