Berowra to Mt Kuring-gai via Apple Tree Bay


Due to lack of work on the track, our 11km walk became not moderate, but moderate plus. We found the track could be negotiated, but it was made more difficult by the need to clamber over or under fallen trees. The downs and ups sections were not particularly difficult.

The bush was very beautiful and our morning tea and lunch breaks were both taken at spots with lovely water views (see Di's photo)

Just after completing the main ascent, we made two short detours – the first to view a really beautiful cave, and the second to the memorial for the four firefighters whose lives were lost (in 2000)when they were trapped in the valley. Unfortunately neither of these detours is signposted , so local knowledge is required to view them.
