17km Middle Harbour Creek Loop. Be active, healthy & happy.😎

Middle Harbour Creek Loop- Roseville Bridge start/finish - 17km
I would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land on which i walk, the Cammeraygal people of the Ku-ring-gai Aboriginal Tribe & pay respect to the Elders past, present & emerging.

🌿About: A three stop 19 minute bus ride from the CBD, this route explores Middle Harbour Creek's upper reaches then doubles back. Water views all the way. Mostly shady bushland with interesting sandstone formations and panoramic creek vistas toward the end of the walk. It's a workout with a view. A good amount of shade, goldilocks distance & finish around lunchtime. On the bus ride you also get to view Sydney Harbour twice when you cross the Coathanger.

🌿Route: From Roseville Scout Group, Warringah Rd, Roseville Chase bus stop we cross the road overpass then go under the Roseville Bridge to the start of the track. From there it's well established track till just after the 7km mark the track is a bit wilder for a kilometer or so. Then we join the main GNW track back to Davidson Park (toilets). From there we cross the Roseville Bridge again to arrive at the bus stop opposite the start for the 19 min ride back to Wynyard.
We should finish around 1.30pm.
