Walk: Easy

Going through the streets of Hunters Hill, this walk is the first segment of those walking the Great North Walk. That said, it struggles to be called a bushwalk as the majority of the track is on roads and footpaths. The track does pop into some pockets of nice bushland, but these are short relative to the walking along the streets.

Bushwalking can be fun and interesting when you are well prepared. Please ensure you and your group are well prepared and equipped for all possible dangers. The authors, staff and owners of wildwalks take care in preparing these notes but do not accept responsibility for any inconvenience, loss or injury sustained when using these notes. Please take care and feel free to provide feedback through our website.
Please note that side trips and alternate routes mentioned in these notes are not included in the tracks overall rating, distance or time estimate. The notes also only describe the side trip and alternate routes in one direction.
