About
Join us on Sunday 7 June as we Walk and Talk from the NEW Southern Lookout at Hornsby Park, and follow the Heritage Steps to enjoy the stunning Blue Gum Walk!Experience new levels of recreation, rejuvenation and regeneration at Hornsby Park. Transforming 60 hectares of the old Hornsby Quarry into walking trails, majestic lookouts and welcoming open spaces, every moment in this naturally awe-inspiring destination is made to uplift and restore, inside and out.
The first stages of Hornsby Park โ the Crusher Plant Precinct and Southern Lookout are now open. Our Meeting Point will be at the Southern Lookout!
This development the first chapter in a new story for Hornsby Park โ a parkland being shaped for generations to come. Construction will continue to take place as they develop the next sections of the park.

Why not arrive an hour or two early and explore the precinct for yourself. Weโll see you at the Meeting Point at 1.50pm ...donโt be late!
This is a fantastic loop through a rare and diverse pocket of the Berowra Valley National Park. One moment you are walking beneath the towering canopy of a Blue Gum High Forest, and the next you are navigating sandstone ridgetops or wandering through a tranquil, green corridor of ferns.
The trail is well-loved for its variety. You'll wind your way past The Fishponds, a large waterhole on Berowra Creek, which is perfect for a scenic break (though swimming isn't recommended due to the water quality). Keep an eye out for the Washtub on Waitara Creek, where the water has sculpted unique pools into the rock. The birdlife here is exceptional; you might be lucky enough to spot a lyrebird scratching in the leaf litter or hear the laugh of a kookaburra.
While this is a family-friendly loop, it's not without its challenges. Expect a true bushwalking experience with some steep sections, over 300 steps in parts, and rocky terrain that requires a bit of scrambling. It's manageable for most, but you'll want to be ready for a bit of a workout.
Why not join together for dinner afterwards?
The venue weโre suggesting is: The Courtyard - Hornsby RSL Club, just across from Hornsby Train Station.
We will need to book in advance for 5.15pm - so be sure to let us know :)
