Hornsby to Mt Kuring-gai

This section of the Great North Walk starts from Hornsby Train Station and winds down along the Blue Gum Walk into Berowra Vallery National Park. You walk down sandstone steps build during the depression, cross the 'Steele' bridge before walking past Tunks Ridge Campsite. The walk crosses under the bridge at Galston Gorge then follows the Berowra Creek valley to Crosslands Reserve. Crossland is a popular picnic and camping area. The walk is mostly flat before crossing Calna Creek then leading up the valley passing a series of caves on your way to Mt Kuring-gai.
