Berowra Waters to Cowan (GNW)

New South Wales

One of the hillier sections of the Great North Walk - you can start/finish at Berowra Station or Berowra Waters (car access only). There are many wide views across Berowra Creek providing some great excuses for well deserved rest stops. Take your time to enjoy the views, and rock formations, and creek crossings along the way as the track traveses multiple valleys between Berowra and Cowan railway station, through a wonderfully remote section of bushland. One of the best sections of the Great North Walk!

Great walk on a beautiful day with a few Cub Scouts - detoured to Berowra Waters for a BBQ lunch.

This one was quite tough, especially on a hot day. A lot of stairs. Recommend doing on a cool day or in the afternoon. Nice views by the water. Also saw a lyre bird.
