(Updated Details) Great west walk. This is the second stage of a series of walks planned between Parramatta and Penrith. The GWW was opened in late 2019 . What I have chosen to call the second stage is the 8 Km between Toongabbie and Blacktown Railway Stations. There are NO hills, so this is an easy walk. There is a mix of street walking and urban parkland. The late start is to make it easy for members from areas beyond Western Sydney to join in. This walk is also offered to members of The Wanderers , Hills based bushwalking club. We catch the train back from Blacktown. I will be driving to Toongabbie from Castle Hill and parking near the station. Street crossings; cyclists on shared paths. It may be hot. Remember water,sunscreen and hat.

(SWAG) Esther
(Cancelled) LEADER: Lynne Hewitt: See Costa's video: https://vimeo.com/759335207 Take ferry to Rose Bay to visit Coopers Park, Blackburn Gardens and Woollahra Gallery. Cooper Park is a large bushland reserve with many walking tracks and recreational facilities available. Cooper Park's worth as a recreation area was recognised as far back as 1885 when the Government was asked to purchase land from the Cooper Estate for recreational purposes. It was not until 1913 that Sir William Cooper agreed to give the whole of the gully from Victoria Road, Bellevue Hill to Manning Road, Double Bay to the Council as a park. Subsequent additions over the years have brought the Park up to its present area of 38 acres (15 ha.) The creek running through the Park is largely natural and follows the line of a volcanic dyke of the Jurassic age while the hillsides support a wide variety of native trees and shrubs. Development over the years included extensive walking tracks/paths, with shelter sheds built and picnic areas laid out. Some muddy sections. Some steep climb View

The Tahmoor Gorge Circuit is one of those gems that are best experienced in warm weather as it allows you to swim and enjoy all those stunning waterfalls and cascades along the way. There are so many picturesque places along the circuit where you'll want to photograph and appreciate, and I don't want to rush this walk. Steep track sections and some rock scrambling.
