This pleasant circuit walk explores the service trails of North Wahroonga. Enjoy wildflowers among the eucalypts as you overlook Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. Dogs are welcome as this walk doesn't enter the national park. Let us begin by acknowledging the Darug people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Warning This journey requires significant bushwalking experience, specialised equipment and navigation skills. Please ensure you and your group well prepared and equiped for this journey.
