Martin's Lookout to Bunyan Lookout

This walk crosses the Glenbrook Gorge, dropping from Martins Lookout, then climbing to the Bunyah lookout on the other side, and then back again. This walk is strenuous and gives a great perspective of the two lookouts and the gorge. A great walk for the fit. 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, the walk heads through the cable opening in the low fence, and follows the clear sandy path past the rocky outcrop, on the left. The track winds for a short time to come around a rock outcrop with a pole (without a sign) marking the intersection, on the right.
From the intersection, the walk heads across the hillside, keeping the valley and view to the right. The track continues to soon lead out to the unfenced rock platform that forms Martin's Lookout.....
