Flat Top

The walk to the summit of Flat Top is a very short climb. A treat awaits at the summit, with a near-360 degree view of the surrounding valleys, including the Grose Valley. There are also great views to other features including Mt Hay and Lockley Pylon. The walk and mountain itself may be short, but the views are spectacular and well worth exploring. Let us begin by acknowledging the Dharug & Gundungurra people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Track Notes

Getting started
From the car park, this walk crosses the road to the opening in the thick wire fence, then follows the 'Flat Top' sign up the sandy track. After approximately 50m, the track passes an alternate exit to the management trail (on the left). The track continues up the hill, tending right up a steeper, rockier gradient. The track continues up to three metal ruts on the left of a rocky outcrop. The track heads up to the flat of the plateau, leading along an overgrown management trail to an obvious trig station.....
