The Great North Walk (12k Hike), Macquarie Park to Thornleigh (Solo), Lane Cove NP

This hike is from a section of the Great North Walk. I have covered almost all of the Great North Walk hikes south of Brooklyn, and this is one of the easier ones. While there are no spectacular summit views, this is all about the flora and fauna. I encountered a huge tree goanna, many sulphur crested cockatoos, kookaburras and many eucalypts and ferns. In spring the area is blossoming and the birds in abundance, more enjoyable during the week when there are less people.

I am looking at doing this walk soon with friends so I appreciate gaining some insight into the area from your video. Thanks 👍🏼

Really enjoying these videos. Just the right amount of talking. It really captures the tranquility of our awesome Sydney nature.

Great video, would love to see a walk on the next section of the Great North Walk from Hornsby to Berowra which is doable one way and catching the train back.

Definitely! I've walked pretty much every section of the GNW on the south side of the Hawksbury (and all before I owned the GoPro!). So I'll definitely be walking those sections again and adding some more videos. Most of the sections have train stations at either end (apart from the Galston Gorge sections which require car shuffles)
