Getting started
From the platform the track heads out onto Railway street, turns right and continues up towards Pennant Hills road. Before it reaches the main road, the track heads up a short set of steps and up the ramp to the overpass, where it crosses the main road and continues down the other side to the bottom. Turning right at the main road, the track follows the footpath along the main road east for a short distance to the intersection of the Crescent. From the intersection the track follows the Crescent down the hill and along to the end of the road turning left and then immediately right onto Charlotte road which joins onto Brittania street and to the intersection of the Pennant Hills Park entry at the round about.
: From the 'Pennant Hills Park’ entry sign (beside the Britannia St roundabout, near the car park), this walk leads gently downhill along the narrow concrete footpath, keeping the road to your right (and ignoring the short path on your right). After 10m this walk comes to a log seat (on your right), and ‘Wildlife Protection Area’, 'Mambara Track' and 'Mambara Access Track' signs (on your left). This walk continues for 40m along the path around the sharp left bend then continues for another 20m to come to a 3-way intersection, marked with an arrow post (on your left).
From the intersection, this walk follows the arrow post gently downhill along the concrete path, keeping the road (a short distance) to your right. After 5m this walk passes 'The Ultimate Jigsaw' sign (on your left) then continues gently uphill for about 140m over a series of rough concrete sections to come to a 3-way intersection with a dirt track (on the right).
From the intersection, this walk follows the concrete path gently up over a rise (keeping the road to your right). After about 15m this walk leads gently downhill and soon bends left. This walk continues along the path for about 70m past a 'Bush Recycling' sign (on the left) to come to a 4-way intersection (with two dirt tracks on the right).
From the intersection, this walk heads distinctly but gently downhill along the concrete path as the track bends left. This walk then gently meanders downhill for about 20m through the open forest, passing a potential trip hazard on the path. This walk then continues for about 35m along the path which soon bends right, then comes to a sharp left hand bend. Half way through the bend there is a 3-way intersection with a dirt track (on the right).
From the intersection, this walk leads downhill along the concrete path, immediately passing the turning rest bay (on the left) and a 'You scratch my back' sign (on the right). This walk then continues gently downhill through the open forest for another 35m to a distinct 3-way intersection with a short concrete path (on the right).....

Toilet: There is one 830 m from the start.

Seat: There are 2 on route, on average they are 2.5 km apart with the largest gap of 6.6 km.

Big Ducky Waterhole
The service trail loops around the top of the Big Ducky waterhole and there is a nice rock overhang in which to break. Is also a popular bird watching area. Unfortunately, recently there has been large quantities of rubbish in the area. (If going down to the waterhole please consider carrying out some of the rubbish if every walker carrys out a bit it will make a difference)

Whale Rock
This is a large boulder that looks eerily like a whale, complete with eye socket. It is a good place to break and climb around the Rock.
