Bondi to Bronte
This is the most famous, most walked track in Sydney, no question, and for good reasons. Sure, it’s easy to get to, and passes between two of Australia’s best-known beaches, Bondi and Bronte. And sure, it’s a great place for celebrity spotting, or being seen.
But it’s the sunny, coastal views that bring walkers by the busload, that inspire and lighten the soul. There are few things more satisfying than watching the South Pacific Ocean roll and crash against the line of coves and beaches extending south from Bondi to La Perouse on to the entrance to Botany Bay. There are many incredible vantage points and photo opps along the way, the most popular being the sandstone lookout at Hunter Park, about halfway from Bondi to Bronte.
The path is mostly sealed, and with the exception of some rocky patches, and a steep set of stairs, is a very leisurely stroll.

Berowra Waters to Cowan (GNW)
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!

Federation Peak
Picton Road is 16km unsealed (I got a flat tyre in a Toyota Corolla doing 30km/hr) . You park just before the landslide then its around a 3km walk to Farmhouse Creek.
From where you park the car to Cutting Camp is approximately 21km/8-10hrs with around 600m elevation gain. Plenty of mud and root climbing. you will climb under and over fallen trees.
I set up camp at Cutting Camp for 2 nights. There is plenty of water from Cherry Creek alongside the camp but you must treat it as there have been giardia cases.
Day two: climb 600m and about 3-4km 3-4hrs up to Bechervaise Plateau then another approximately 3hrs return to the summit.
If the weather is bad you will not be able to summit. You will need to be comfortable on things similar to Tibrogargan Caves Route.
After the relatively easy famous traverse above Lake Geeves there is a difficult bit to climb where getting up is much easier then getting down and there is zero margin for mistakes.
(Note this information is a guide and you will need to source addition information elsewhere)
(I will refine and add to this later)
