The starting point of an optional sidetrip. Side trip to Fishponds waterhole on Berowra Creek. At the southern end, there are stepping stones to help cross the creek, and a small timber bridge at the northern end. This is a beautiful spot and a worthy place to rest and enjoy the water passing by. Swimming and jumping at the Fishponds waterhole have resulted in fatalities – please heed the signs and Cora’s parents’ plea and enjoy the water from the edge. To start this optional side trip continue straight here. On returning from this side trip continue straight when you get back to this intersection. Details below.
