Sunday 23 October, 9:00-12:00 am approx.
Join us for a wonderfully varied walk featuring forested sandstone hillsides, mangroves and river views. You will see a diversity of vegetation: Sydney Sandstone Gully Forest and Ridgetop Woodland on the hillside of the Field of Mars; the Mangroves below Buffalo Creek Reserve, a world totally different from the surrounding bushland; on the slope of Sugarloaf Hill a beautiful sandstone landscape of Eucalypts, Angophoras, Xanthorrhoea (grass trees) and flowering understorey with glimpses to the Lane Cove River through the trees. The track continues to Sugarloaf Point, part of Lane Cove National Park, where open grassed areas provide a picnic and relaxation area beside the river. Time permitting we may stop here for a snack and chat.
Grade: Medium
Bush tracks, rocky sections, boardwalk, high stone steps and tree
roots. A moderate level of fitness is required.
