Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park is a huge reserve bordering the mouth of the Hawkesbury River. To see some authentic aboriginal rock art, including engravings and "red hands", try the Garigal Aboriginal Heritage Walk (about a 1.5 hour bushwalk that starts on West Head Road) which includes great water views. It takes about an hour to drive from downtown Sydney. It costs $11 per car to enter the park, but after that everything is free. Alternatively, you can take a bus from Wynyard (downtown) to Palm Beach, and from there enter the park by ferry. Take a picnic lunch with you as there is not a lot available in the park. The park closes at 5:30pm in the winter and 8:00pm in the summer (daylight saving time).

cnango Sun Apr 2, 2006 05:29 UTC Gday ! So you like" tinned chillies" what do U make with them ? Ever had Ortegas? I'm coming to Sydney in May maybe I bring some to OZ : ) | sue_stone Tue Jan 17, 2006 08:19 UTC Great start to this page on my home town : )) | kooka3 Tue Jan 17, 2006 02:27 UTC Excellent start to your Sydney page - looking forward to seeing more. I enjoyed your Sydney/Canberra contrast, too. I liked going to Canberra in the Autumn to walk through the fallen leaves, an experience I missed in Sydney. :) | aussiedoug Tue Oct 25, 2005 09:23 UTC Now an absolutely excellent off the beaten path tip. Not too many VTers (even Sydney locals) would know about this. How do you know Sydney (e.g. Castle Hill etc) so well? |
