Leanne’s parents are staying with us for a few days – we took them out to Kuringai Chase National park and did some walking around West Head and other nearby walking tracks.

This is quite a spectacular area of Sydney, with the mouth of the Hawkesbury River and many inlets and coves forming an intricate maze of waterways to explore. The scenery is amazing just about any way you look.

At West Head, the north-easterly most part of the national park you get views out over the Hawkesbury towards Woy Woy, and across Pittwater to Barrenjoey Head and Palm Beach.
