Hike summary

A great walk with a mixture of historic remnants of the Old Great North Rd and some beautiful views over the Hawkesbury river and other valleys. Most of this walk follows parts of the convict built road and a number of information signs along the way give a good insight into the construction and history of the road making the walk more interesting. The last section of the walk along Wisemans Ferry Rd has some great views of the cliffs above. The historic Thomas James bridge just before the end of the walk is the oldest in-use bridge on mainland Australia.

Let someone know before you go

It’s a good idea to let someone know where you’re going. Fill in a trip intention form to send important details about your trip to your emergency contact. If you are lost or require help and have phone reception, call 000 and ask for police. The international standard emergency number is 112, if you dial this number in Australia you will be treated exactly the same as a 000 call. If you believe your life is at risk, activate your personal locator beacon (PLB), then make your position visible to rescue teams and keep warm and dry.
