I did a lovely three hour hike today thanks to a blurb I read on the Internet. I've never hiked in the Garigal National Park before. The beauty of this park is that it is right on my doorstep, just 15 - 20 minutes from Waverton.
As an article on the Internet so aptly said,
"That's the beauty of living in Sydney. The bush isn't so much on the doorstep as parking its butt on the sofa. Study any map of Sydney and you can see the green tentacles of Mother Nature threading their way among the apartment blocks, the homes, the train lines and the shopping malls."
Here is the blurb on the Internet that got me interested in this hike:
Lindfield - Garigal National Park - Roseville Bridge
Time: 2-3 hours. Medium going in parts. Highlights: Seven Little Australians Park, spectacular views across upper reaches of Middle Harbour.
Possibly the most picturesque of all these walks, the Two Creeks Track drops swiftly away from the quaintly named Seven Little Australians Park (an explanatory sign is needed here, possibly) and quickly descends into what can only be described as your cliched leafy glade territory. There are wooden bridges over babbling brooks, small waterfalls tumbling over black rocks worn smooth with age, a spooky but excitingly modern tunnel under the Eastern Arterial Road and a worthwhile climb up and into the Garigal National Park. The track follows the line of Gordon Creek until it joins Middle Harbour and then follows the main river around to Roseville Bridge and the Roseville Marina (with cafe) at Echo Point Park.
