Macquarie Park to Thornleigh (GNW)

Greater Sydney
 

Starting from the Macquarie Park train station, you wander down Lane Cove Rd and over De Burghs Bridge to join the main spine of the Great North Walk in the Lane Cove Valley. Here the walk heads under De Burghs bridge then explores the dry grass tree and eucalypt forest along the side of the ridge. The track soon leads you down into the ferny and moist valley beside Lane Cove River. Near the top of the valley, you walk up some stone steps built during the depression to find some rock engravings with 1930's style political satire, Conscript Pass. The side trip provides access to the scout campsite, where the main walk continues leads up through the streets to find Thornleigh train station.

Bondi to Bronte

Greater Sydney
 

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.
