🥾 Hike Overview
This scenic loop along the Lane Cove River offers a peaceful escape into nature without leaving Sydney. 🌿
The trail mixes easy riverside walking with more rugged sections along the Great North Walk, including rocky scrambles and uneven terrain. Keep an eye out for water dragons, wallabies and plenty of native bushland along the way.
