Eleven walkers set out on this perfect winter's day for a new circuit walk in Garigal National Park. Starting at Acron Oval we headed towards the Cascades, turning off onto the Bare Creek Track & then the Heath Track up to the top of the hill near the Belrose Microwave Tower. From here we headed out on a fire trail to the Rocky Hill Lookout for morning tea. Three of our group waited at the first vantage point while the rest of us went to the top of Rocky Hill where we had great views towards the city at one spot & over the valley towards St Ives at the other.
