WALK to bus stop Stand L, Druitt St.
BUS 506 Get off in Park Rd at Princes St.
WALK:
Viewed from a 2 km rather rough section of the Great North Walk, the mangrove forests of this stretch of the Lane Cove River were thankfully saved when plans for Sydney's destructive North-Western Expressway were abandoned in the sixties.
A further 2km of suburbia will lead us to Sydney Water's remarkable and mysterious 1930-built inverted syphon, convict-entrepreneur Mary Reibey's house ($20 banknote) aka Fig Tree House, the shortest expressway in Australia (1km) and a refreshing beer/meal at the Hunters Hill Hotel.
RETURN from Hunters Hill Hotel. Buses every 20 minutes to Town Hall, Chatswood, Burwood and Macquarie Park stations.
DIFFICULTY Medium:
Four kilometres, but rough track section of Great North Walk, and possible high temperatures on the day.
What to bring:
Sun protection, drinking water, strong shoes, and a snack.
