National Parks / Parks / Gardens: A walk in the park
  • Tip Rating:
  • 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).

     Great start to this page on my home town : ))

     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. :)

     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?
