We meet at Customs House and head up to the Obelisk at Macquarie Place which is the official start of the Great North Walk.

Next we will head back to Circular Quay to catch our ferry to Woolwich Ferry Wharf, Valentina Street. Along the way we will visit Woolwich Peninsula with Lane Cover River to our right and Parramatta River to our left.

We will pass some amazing buildings and churches in Hunters Hill before stopping for lunch at Boronia Park (make sure you bring food as no shops nearby). From Boronia Park we will walk along the western bank of the Lane Cove River, following the Great North Walk arrows as we go, finishing at North Ryde Railway Station.
