This walk offers the shortest way of walking to Green Point. Starting from the elevated Leichhardt Road in Valentine the walk descends through eucalyptus forest with some pleasant clearings on the way. Green Point is a great place for picnics and feels as if you can see the entire Lake Macquarie from the foreshore. A recommended walk.
