Cowan to Brooklyn (after more Covid lockdown and a very very wet Sydney summer and autumn.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another Covid lockdown before Christmas and Sydney’s very very wet summer and autumn has kept me off the trails. My friend Rodney and I took advantage of a glorious winter day to do this next GNW section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This walk picks up from Cowan station just across the road from the finish of the last section. Another track of about 13.5 Kms, it descends to Jerusalem Bay then climbs up, joining firetrail for the second half via Brooklyn Dam to Brooklyn and the Hawksbury River railway station for the trip back. A week of fine weather has let the trail dry up a bit, but still a bit of mud and puddles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Again the excellent tracknotes are here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have to follow the GNW arrows onto the station and walk along the platform to reach a point where you cross the rails to the east, walk north beside the rail line and reach a bridge over the freeway, to begin the track.<\/p>\n\n\n
