Track from Patonga to Pearl Beach is promoted
A local tourist information centre has promoted the walking track from Patonga to Pearl Beach through Brisbane Water National Park.
"The Patonga to Pearl Beach walking track follows the Great North Walk through the beautiful red gums of Brisbane Water National Park," the Ettalong Diggers Visitor Information Centre said last week in a social media post.
"From the end of Patonga Beach, follow signs to the national park.
"You can head to Warrah Trig from here, while following the steep trail up and over the hill will take you past the spectacular Warrah lookout with views of Hawkesbury River and Pacific Ocean.
"Pause for a snack, then return to the fire trail, following the Pearl Beach signs past sandstone caves with a natural hanging garden of native ferns.
"Be sure to keep an eye out for bush turkeys and an ear open for kookaburras.
"Your exit is marked at Crystal Ave.
"Follow the sounds of crashing waves to find a beautiful stretch of sand on the edge of the bush.
"You can enjoy a picnic, or take advantage of the small cafes nearby.
"Bring your swimmers and a towel.
"This walk begins and ends on a beach, with plenty of opportunity for a refreshing dip or a spot of fishing."
