Bushwalks
Many people head straight up to the Blue Mountains to go hiking but we think the bushwalks around here are just as good! Our favourite bushwalks can be found in our booklet Best Bushwalks Around the Hawkesbury. At the moment our Visitor Centre is closed but you can still purchase the booklet from the Hawkesbury Regional Museum, 8 Baker Street, Windsor. And as a bonus we've put a few of our favourite ones up online (plus some new ones) so you can still get out and enjoy the bush. Cattai A peaceful, gentle track takes you around a freshwater lagoon that is a bird haven. Longneck Lagoon is pleasantly surprising. For details click here. Colo River A well graded track takes you deep into the wild Colo River gorge. The Bob Turners Track is one of the best ways to access the remote river. For details click here Banks Wall A walk highlighting natures fire recovery. You'll be rewarded with an amazing, wild lookout over the Grose Valley. This walk is off Bells Line of Road, 9km from Mt Tomah. For details click here. Grose Vale A peaceful walk around the stunning lookouts of the Vale of Avoca. Fabulous views of the Grose River Wilderness. For details click here. |
