From St Ives showground (bus accessable) after a small off track scramble we will skirt the Ku-ring-gai wildflower garden visiting Whipbird Gully and Phantom Falls. Then we follow the Warrimoo track and branch off to a route via Kierans Creek which requires a bit of leg flexibility negotiating some rock ledges. A steepish climb out takes us to a fire trail and then some foot pad tracks and mountain bike trails. Then it's a combination of tracks back to St Ives showground.

This is an interesting walk with some great vista's of rock pools, idylic swimming holes and cascading waterfalls, amongst a variety of bush.

Expect to be out from 9.30am to 3pm or thereabouts!

I will confirm exact meeting times closer to the day.
