Epping and District Probus Club Inc. – Walk Program

Thursday 23rd March 2017

We have a great start to our walking season with a walk through a beautiful, little known oasis close to home, Ferndale and Lane Cove River Parks.
This one has a bit of everything, street and bush tracks, creek crossings and steps. It is a walk of approximately 7km with no time limits as there is regular

Transport.

Meet at Epping Station at 8.50 am to catch the 8.56 am train to Artarmon arriving at approximately 9.15 am.

Short street walk through Artarmon shopping centre to Ferndale Park entrance and a morning tea stop.

We then walk through the park and exit near Fullers Bridge Road. This is a well maintained walking track with steps, foot bridges and creek stepping stones. Then we walk down to the entrance of the Lane Cove National Park for lunch and a toilet stop. There is a regular bus service from this point along Delhi and Fullers Rd to take you home if necessary.

After lunch we join a section of the Great North Walk along the Lane Cove River and exit near the Mowbray Road and tunnel entrances to catch a bus along Epping Road back to Epping Station. This section of the walk is slightly harder in places but does take us to interesting historical points and is well worth the effort.
