Cowan to Brooklyn Hike

Sat, 13 Aug 2022
09:00 - 19:00

Ever wanted to do the Great North Walk? Want to explore the beautiful Kuring-gai National Park? Come along and do the GNW section from Cowan to Brooklyn! 

This should take us approx 4-6 hours of hiking with a two hour train ride on either side of the hike so be prepared for a big day!

What you'll need to bring:

  • Comfy shoes for walking all day
  • Water
  • Lunch and snacks
  • Hat/sunscreen (it may be winter but the sun still has some bite!)
  • A raincoat (we will hike rain or shine)
  • A warm jumper for when we stop for lunch
  • A bag to put it all in (the club has a bunch of day packs you can borrow for free if you need one)

We will catch the 7:43 am train from Newcastle Interchange to Cowan Station and catch the train from Brooklyn back to Newcastle at the end of the day. Please let us know by which station you plan to get on at by getting the associated ticket and we can meet organise into one carriage on the way down! 

Broadmeadow has better parking than the others so most of us will probably get on the train there. If you change your mind about which station you will get on the train from after you have got your ticket let me know. DO NOT MISS YOUR TRAIN!
