Mt Kur-ing-gai to Berowra via the Berowra track

Mt Kuringai to Berowra via Cowan Creek and Waratah Bay

A perfect day for bushwalking sunny and cool. 22 walkers extremely punctual arriving at head of track well ahead of time. Leader being last to arrive!
We walked along the ridge a bit then detoured to see the Fireman’s Rest – a poignant. memorial to 4 national parks staff who were killed in 2000 doing a control burn that went wrong. Then descended by rocky stairs to the waters edge . We followed Cowan Creek with beautiful views all the way. After Waratah Bay we followed the rocky zig zag track up about 150 m 
A few people decided to catch the train immediately while the rest trudged over to Berowra RSL for refreshments before catching the train back to Mt Kuringai. Luckily we didn’t hit the Quiet carriage. Always a challenge for the Up and Downers.
