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.
Note this walk was re-routed in early 2016 to go via the streets of Hornsby Heights. This re-route is due to the multi-agency decision to close the Fishponds to Steele Bridge section of the Benowie Track. This decision continues to upset many people. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
