| Grade:4/6 | Length | 8km | 420m | Southern Sydney Branch | |
| Paul L. | |||||
| (Updated Details) Starting and ending at Mt Kuring-gai, includes Apple Tree Creek and Bay. There is a section of off track walking down to Apple Tree Creek and the creek itself has no track.
The creek has a small gorge and waterfall. A small boulder field and clear bedrock sections.
The return to Mt Kuring-gai is by a track that follows an old water pipe from Apple Tree Bay to the maintained track from Mt Kuring-gai to Cowan Creek. This is a short walk about 4-5 Km with 200 m ascent.
A creek to the north of the return track flows to Cowan Creek and crosses the Berowa track. This is the second gorge and more difficult one to walk. Exit to Mt Kuring-gai can be made before this section.
Due to closed tracks within the park the second gorge is not available and return from Apple Tree Bay will be Apple Tree Creek or to Mt Colah via maintained tracks. Hazards include slippery surfaces and rocks.
Creek crossings. Location: Mt Kuring-gai Map: Mt Kuring-gai Limit: 12. View |
