![Walk | A bushwalk of any kind short or long Walk | A bushwalk of any kind short or long](/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/walk.png) Bar Point is an isolated riverside settlement on the Hawkesbury River in Popran National Park. The proposed route of the Great River Walk runs through this settlement. The route options have never been fully explored due to the remoteness of the area. So this walk is designed to fill in the gaps in our knowledge and explore the area, particularly a possible link between Bar Point and Big Jim Point. It will be an adventure.
