Moderate track
A short walk to a beautiful lookout with views over the Berowra Creek valley, near Westleigh. This is a short and interesting walk to one on those really beautiful pockets of bush in the middle of the suburbs. The lookout is in the Berowra Valley Regional Park and also on the Great North Walk. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Getting started
From the bend in Elouera Rd (beside 49 Elouera Rd), the walk follows the 'Great North Walk' arrow, passing around a gate and down the driveway. At the fenced off old building, the walk follows the red 'Great North Walk' track marker to the left, onto the bush track, keeping the fenced area on the right. The walk bends to the left again at the end of the fenced area (marked with another red GNW marker) and follows the bush track until reaching an intersection, with the main Great North Walk, at the top of a fenced lookout point.....
