Mt Kuring gai Station to Berowra Station via Berowra Regional Park

After various options on how to get to the start of the walk at Mt Kuring gai station, 15 hikers set off to safely cross over the highway and then start the descent into the valley.

Weather was the best we’ve had for walking so far this year (even some jackets on!) so everyone was very happy with that.

After recent rain, forest was very lush and “clean” and the fungi were putting on an amazing display from caramel coloured to blue to orange to red.

Morning tea was enjoyed at a creek crossing with lots of suitable rocks for sitting on. There were many creek crossings throughout the day and all conquered without too much drama.

The forest changes throughout the walk make it interesting: almost rainforest to salt marshes.

The steep climb up from Sam’s Creek was rewarded with views, lunch and seating at Naa Badu Lookout over Berowra Creek. Final stretch after lunch maintained the upward direction but more gently.

Refreshments at Berowra RSL were enjoyed by all and it was good to welcome our newest members Helen and Alice to the fold and compliment our visitor Tutu on her first outing with us.
