O'Hares Creek Lookout Walking Track

This stroll of a walk takes you through Dharawal National Park from Victoria Road to O’Hares Creek lookout then back via the same track, with great views over the gorge. Let us begin by acknowledging the Dharawal people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
