Great North Walk: Cowan to Brooklyn - Great Bushwalking: 12KM!
We meet at Cowan Train Station by no later than 10:00AM where we begin this wonderful bushwalk along the Great North Walk to Brooklyn, where we can enjoy a tasty beer at the lovely old-style pub, The Anglers Rest Hotel, before training out from Hawkesbury River Train Station.
We will stop for lunch about 2/3rds of the way through. So, bring something nice to eat! I aim to complete the day’s walking by no later than 3:30PM. There are no get-out points.
