  A great walk at a comfortable pace with a mixture of historic remnants of the Old Great North Rd, and some beautiful views over the Hawkesbury River and other valleys. Most of this walk follows parts of the convict built road, and a number of information signs along the way give a good insight into the construction and history of the road, making the walk more interesting. The long, gentle climb along Shepherds Gully has some beautiful scenery and some historic remnants of the Old Great North Road. BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL by email or text to register attendance. 4 hrs 30 mins. wildwalks.com/bushwalking-and-hiking-in-nsw/dharug-np/shepherds-gully.html Hazards: Historic road and bush tracks, steep in places, carry sufficient water.
