 (NEW!!!) This is one of the most challenging sections of the Great North Walk, passing Berowra Waters ferry, with steep, uneven ascents and descents.The walk starts down a firetrail, with some interesting sandstone caves and overhangs, then descends into a valley before crossing Joe Crafts Creek. Some fairly steep sections have iron
rungs to assist with the descent to Berowra Waters. We follow the creek then start climbing on steps hewn into the sandstone, to a firetrail and there’s a short break and photo-stop at the Naa Badu Lookout before completing the long, steady ascent to Berowra Station.
More suitable for regular, fit walkers, especially now that warmer weather is here. Bring plenty of water. Joint walk with Bush Club. Uneven, rocky tracks, muddy after rain. Steep ascents/descents requiring stamina and balance. Very good fitness needed: Cumulative 880m ascent/510m descent. It is Grade 3+ Limit: 15.
