The walk will start at the Monday Morning Cafe opposite Thornleigh Train Station on the west side of the railway line. Meet Julie and John at the cafe at 9am for a 9:30am start. There will be a short urban street walk to join the Great North Walk. We will then follow the GNW around the back of the suburb of Westleigh following the track through Berowra Valley Regional Park. We will traverse the Blue Gum Forest as we make our way toward The Fishponds and eventually emerging at the bottom of the Hornsby Heritage Steps at the Rosemead Rd Park. We will then ascend the Hornsby Heritage Steps (over 300) to access the back streets of Hornsby. It is then just a short walk to Hornsby Train Station. Please note there will be some rocky locations which will require rock climbing up and down. Most of the trail will be undulating.
