Hike Summary
This long day-walk starts from the Girrakool picnic area and works its way south alongside Piles creek and through the Brisbane Waters National Park. The walk climbs over Scopas Peak and passes the Kariong brook falls before winding to the top of Mount Wondabyne and finishing at the Woy Woy train station (passing the Woy Woy landfill site). If doing a car shuffle you can park a car near the landfill and save the road section.
