Hornsby Blue Gum Walk is a 6.7km, grade 4 circuit hike, located in the Berowra Valley National Park, New South Wales. The hike should take approximately 3 hrs to complete.

Hike Summary

This delightful loop is one of the prettiest and most popular walks in the Hornsby area. Going from an environment of ferns and clear bushland to dry sandstone bush near Berowra Creek this walk has a good complement of environments. The side trip out to Joe's Mountain doesn't have the most fantastic views but is still a nice walk.
