encounter!

HORNSBY 

REGION 

is a great place to be! 

There’s something for everyone … 

The best thing about welcoming visitors to our picturesque region is that 

there is always a sight, a scene, a taste, a tour, a festival, a foreshore, a 

trail, a tide, a sunset, a sunrise, a view, a vista that will totally captivate, 

relax and entrance even the most hardened soul. 

Tucked away on our waterway foreshores are villages waiting to 

be explored, breathtaking vistas to be had from towering mountain 

lookouts, bushland trails to be discovered by bike or on foot and local 

produce, including seafood, like no other. 

You can shop in our malls, follow winding roads to ferries which crisscross 

the mighty Hawkesbury and its tributaries, hire out a houseboat 

or tinny, picnic or camp under the stars, soak up the atmosphere in our 

historic pubs, pick your own produce from our farms, stay in hotel style 

or sleep in rustic sheep station bungalows. 

The Hornsby Region is not only famous for its Waterways and National 

Parks, but is fast becoming renown for its abundance of Markets and 

Festivals. Hornsby Mall and its surrounding suburbs are home to a 

variety of boutique and charity markets, an antiques fair, our famous 

woodchop festival, Festival of the Arts, the Bushland Country festival, 

Christmas Spectacular, Australia Day celebrations, weekly Organic 

Produce markets – in fact there is something to delight every member of 

your family, from the ankle-biters to the thirty-somethings, from the grey 

nomads to the wise elders. 

We invite you to take a trip to the Hornsby Region … stay awhile … 

drink in our atmosphere … and return home refreshed … 

Enjoy!

Hornsby Mountain Bike Trail 

If you’re an active kind of person your visit to Hornsby Shire won’t be complete until you visit the new Mountain 

Bike Trail, which is located in bushland just a few minutes walk from Hornsby Station. The only trail of its kind in the 

region, it winds through 3.2 kilometres of the picturesque Old Mans Valley. The trail was several years in the planning 

and care has been taken to ensure riders will have a great time while minimising disturbance to the environment. 

The one-metre-wide natural surface trail (known as a ‘single track’) has been designed with gentle gradients that 

are not prone to water erosion and much of it looks like a regular bushwalking trail. 

The trail comprises a combination of handmade bushland trails and flowing machine-made trails, maximising the 

fun factor for riders. At the bottom of the trail is a “Green Loop” that can be safely ridden by children and mountain 

biking novices. From there it is possible to build up through the various levels until you’re able to ride the full course 

of rollers, jumps and berms. 

To ensure the safety of riders and good trail condition for all riders, trail closures will occur during extreme fire 

danger periods and wet trail conditions. After prolonged or very heavy rain, the trail may be closed for a number 

of days so the surface can dry out. To find out whether the trail is open visit hornsby.nsw.gov.au/mbt or check out 

the Twitter account twitter.com/HornsbyMBT. 

More stages are planned in 2014. 

CYCLE IN 

THE SHIRE 

10.

BMX Bicycle Parks 

If you prefer stunts and tricks, you ought to check out 

Hornsby Shire’s two BMX tracks. They can be found at 

Montview Oval in Hornsby Heights and at the 

Wisemans Ferry Recreational Reserve. These tracks 

are suitable for bicycle riders of all ages and abilities. 

Road Cycling 

Not all two-wheeled activity has to involve jumps, 

rollers and berms. There are a many picturesque 

cycling routes at all levels of difficulty. These range 

from the charming streets of Beecroft in the south of 

the Shire to the steep hills along Smugglers Ridge in 

the north. Whatever you’re looking for, you’re bound 

to find it in the Cycling Map that can be found at 

hornsby.nsw.gov.au/cycling-map. 

Skateboarding 

If skateboarding is more your scene, Hornsby Shire 

has plenty of options. If you’re especially lucky you’ll 

be reading this after the completion of the muchanticipated 

upgrades to Cherrybrook Skate Park, 

which will have taken place by early 2014. The 

upgrades have been designed by skateboarders for 

skateboarders and include many exciting features. 

Hornsby Shire’s skate parks can be found at the 

following locations. All except Brooklyn are floodlit 

until 9.30pm each night.

RELAX IN 

THE SHIRE 

Parks 

Hornsby Shire is home to more than 130 beautiful parks and playgrounds, which are maintained to a high standard 

and regularly renovated. These include: 

Fagan Park, Galston 

This large regional park contains lakes, a playground, circuit paths, picnic tables, barbecues, toilets and the 

spectacular Garden of Many Nations. Every Spring it also plays host to the annual Bushland Festival, a celebration 

of everything that’s great about Hornsby Shire. 

Crosslands Reserve, Hornsby Heights 

Accessed by a 2.5 kilometre gravel road at the end of Somerville Road, the reserve offers many great family 

activities including picnicking and barbecues, bushwalking, camping, fishing, canoeing, bike riding or simply 

admiring the beautiful natural scenery. 

James Park, Hornsby 

This recently refurbished park has something for the entire family, from the swing set and shaker mirror through 

to the basketball half court and exercise equipment. There are also barbecues and a ping pong table. 

Lilian Fraser Garden, Pennant Hills 

This beautiful garden was donated to Hornsby Shire by Lilian Fraser, one of the first qualified female botanists 

in Australia. It’s ideal for picnics or a peaceful walk, with guided tours available by appointment. Weddings, 

christenings and small receptions also take place here.

Putt yourself outdoors… 

with Dural Putt Putt 

Pale-blue birds are seen feasting on the nectar of vivid 

roses; triumphant cheers echo from around the two 

18-hole courses, and the scent of fresh pastries and 

hot meals intoxicate my senses as I enter Dural Putt Putt 

in the Gardens. A mini golf course situated 

amongst lush, green gardens in middle Dural is the 

place to be with a group of family or friends as you 

soar through the challenging Camelot-themed course 

or relax on the widespread space trek course. 

Packed with quirky obstacles, players on the intricate 

golf courses are well served with Italian coffee from 

the home-style café. The friendly wait-staff serve their 

guests efficiently under the shaded tea area where it is 

perfect to enjoy a meal or a delicious gelato as you relax 

to the light tattering of the mermaid fountain. 

CHILDREN’S BIRTHDAY PARTIES 

Dural Putt Putt in the Gardens also offers children’s 

birthday parties, where small groups are led through 

the 9 holes of each themed golf course guided by an 

experienced supervisor, so you won’t be going bald out 

of stress on the day! 

Accompanied with the mini-golf, the children cheer in 

excitement as they are served hotdogs and drinks for 

lunch, and a gelato for dessert. Scott Irwin, a valued 

customer, insists that “no matter what age you are, you 

are guaranteed to have a good time at Dural Putt Putt 

in the Gardens! ”

building and special occasions at an affordable price,

KU-RING-GAI CHASE NATIONAL PARK 

Ku-ring-gai Chase stretches from Barrenjoey Light House and Pittwater 

in the east as far south as Wahroonga, west to the freeway and north 

to Brooklyn. The initial park was founded in 1894 thanks to Eccleston 

du Faur who campaigned to protect it from commercial flower pickers, 

thus making it the second oldest national park in NSW. 

The park is steeped in Aboriginal and European history. There are 

plenty of accessible walking tracks, suitable for the most avid of 

walkers to the weekend ramblers. Two popular walks are the Mangrove 

Boardwalk (~300m) and Birrawanna loop Track (~2 km). Bird 

watching and recreational fishing are also popular activities within the 

park. 

Bobbin Head is one of the region’s most popular picnic sites. Its large 

expansive flats along Cowan Creek make it a most wonderful location 

to bring the family. There are free BBQs, shelters and a children’s 

playground. Apple Tree Bay boat ramp precinct just near Bobbin Head 

provides convenient access for boat owners to explore the picturesque 

waterways of Cowan Creek. There are two canoe launches in the Park 

for those people wishing to bring their own canoe or kayak down. Boat 

hire is available from Empire Marina and paddle boats from the Bobbin 

Inn Café on weekends and school holidays depending on the weather. 

Kalkari Discovery Centre attracts a crowd with their kangaroos, 

wallabies, fresh water turtles, brush turkeys and parrots within the 

free range enclosure and magnificent lookout over Cowan Creek. The 

Chase Alive volunteers can assist with information on upcoming walks, 

talks and school holiday activities. 

Park entry fees apply. Call the Metro North East Region Information 

Centre for more details.

The reserve is open to the public just six weekends a year, on special open days around August 

and September, so that visitors can experience the magnificent wildflowers.

TOP PICNIC 

& CAMPING SPOTS 

If you are looking for a top picnic spot, the Bushland Shire is the place to be! 

Within the Park, Council and National Parks and Wildlife Services have numerous picturesque 

places with picnic facilities. Open fires are discouraged at most times owing to bushfire risk, 

so visitors should carry lightweight walkers’ gas barbecue equipment. Camping facilities are 

restricted to the Council owned section of the riverside flats at Crossslands. 

1. Bellamy Street, Pennant Hills 

Conveniently situated at one of the original trackheads 

of the Benowie section of the Great North Walk for 

picnics at the start or end of the walk, this grassy area 

is surrounded by bushland and has easy access from 

the nearby car park at the northern end of Bellamy 

Street. Within sight of nearby houses, it is sunny spot 

at midday and provided with a garbage bin and tap 

water. 

2. Historic Quarry, Thornleigh 

This is an atmospheric, shady picnic area surrounded 

by tall gum trees, set within the high rock walls of an 

old sandstone quarry. Access, which is on foot along 

rocky fire trails (about 250m ), is from Timbarra Road 

or De Saxe Close in Thornleigh or (about 500 m) from 

the Bellamy Street trackhead. Logs for seating are the 

only facilities. The Historic Quarry is popular with local 

youth groups for evening barbecues. 

3. The Jungo on Berowra Creek 

The Jungo is a sunny clearing with bush all round. It 

is approached on foot, along bushwalking tracks from 

Bellamy Street or Boundary Road trackheads, or on 

rocky fire trails from Schofield Parade in Pennant Hills 

or part of the Callicoma walk from Cherrybrook. 

Nearby, hidden in thick bush, is the junction of 

Berowra and Zig Zag Creeks. This spot, now filled with 

sediment, was once known as the ‘junction swimming 

hole’, one explanation of the ‘jungo’ name of the area. 

4. Lakes Reserve, Cherrybrook 

The suburban park Lakes Reserve, Cherrybrook, is a 

waterbird haven which lies outside the National Park. 

It is a convenient place to start walks into the Park. It 

has good picnic facilities and is close to shops and a 

garage. Ample parking is available nearby. 

5. Rosemead Road, Hornsby 

This pretty park in a tall blue gum setting is the 

starting point for the trackhead to Fishponds and the 

Great North Walk. It is readily accessible by car at the 

northern end of Rosemead Road or can be approached 

on foot, down 230 bush steps from Quarry Road and 

Hornsby station. There is tap water, as well as an 

electric barbecue and roofed picnic tables. 

6. Top of Galston Gorge 

This small paved picnic area, easily reached from an 

adjacent parking area for three cars, has picnic tables. It 

catches the afternoon sun and has excellent views over 

the bush-lined Berowra Creek valley in Galston Gorge. 

It is situated next to Galston Road, near the first of the 

hairpin bends, about 700 m west of Montview Road in 

Hornsby Heights. 

7. Tunks Ridge 

This bush camp ground is situated on the Great North 

Walk on top of Tunks Ridge in a pleasant woodland 

setting. The area has small clearings for three or four 

small tents, and wooden seats. Drinking water is not 

available. The site is approached only on foot along fire 

trails about 5 km from Dural or Hornsby, or up the very 

steep bush track about 700 m from the car park near 

the Galston Gorge bridge over Berowra Creek. The only 

evidence of civilisation at night is the faint noise of cars 

negotiating the hairpin bends in Galston Gorge! 

8. Crosslands Reserve 

Crosslands Reserve is a major recreation reserve and 

the best-equipped of the picnic places within the Park. 

The extensive open grassed areas, surrounded by tall 

gums, are popular with families for picnics and games 

on fine weekends throughout the year. The area is 

well maintained by Council, which provides children’s 

playground equipment, tap water, barbecues, picnic 

tables, bins, toilets and parking for many cars. 

28.

It is a recognised camping ground on the Great North Walk. Group camping 

is possible but requires prior booking with Hornsby Council. 

Access is by car down a partially sealed road, starting at a gate (locked 

at night) at the northern end of Somerville Road at Hornsby Heights. 

Alternatively, access is on foot along the Great North Walk, from Galston 

Gorge (6 km to the south) or from Berowra or Mt Kuring-gai Railway 

Stations about 6 km to the north and west. 

Berowra Creek is broad and tidal at Crosslands. It is popular for fishing and 

provides excellent canoeing at high tide for many kilometres upstream to 

Rocky Fall Rapids and downstream over the sandflats to Berowra Waters. 

Visitors do swim at Crosslands, but should be aware of potential risk from 

algae or stormwater pollution at certain times. Council rangers display signs 

when significant risks occur. Across the Creek are a private Field Studies 

Centre and a Scout Camp. 

9. Barnetts Reserve, Berowra 

This site is high over Berowra Creek Valley and has superb views 

downstream to Berowra Waters and upstream to Crosslands. It is accessible 

from the western end of Barnetts Road in Berowra Heights. A short walk of 

about 150 m from the carpark through a quiet and pretty woodland reserve 

leads to the panoramic views. Wooden tables and water are provided for 

picnickers, plus there is a disabled access pathway. 

10. Berowra Waters 

Picnic tables, electric barbecues, tap water, bins and toilets are available 

near the boat-launching ramp on the western side of Berowra Waters. 

Access is by car along Galston Road from Galston or across the car ferry 

from the Hornsby side of Berowra Creek. Access on foot to the eastern side 

of the car ferry is along the Great North Walk. Restaurants, take-away food 

shops, scenic river cruises and boat hire are available here. This is a popular 

area, especially on summer weekends, when it can sometimes be difficult 

to find a car parking spot, and when the ferry queues may be long.

FOR YOUR 

BOATING SAFETY 

TOP 10 CHECK LIST 

for Boating Safety from 

Marine Rescue NSW 

1. Tell your local Marine Rescue radio base when 

you go out and when you’ll be back. Log On with 

your marine radio so Marine Rescue knows you’re 

out there and when you’re due back. 

2. Wear your lifejackets. Lifejackets save lives – 

but only when you wear them. NSW regulations 

require you to wear lifejackets at certain times. 

Marine Rescue NSW recommends you wear them 

at all times when boating. 

3. Travel at a safe speed and keep a good look out. 

A safe speed is one where you can stop fast 

in an emergency. A good look out means the 

skipper is always aware of conditions around the 

boat. 

4. Check your mechanicals and electricals before 

you go. More breakdowns are caused by 

mechanical and electric faults than any other 

cause. 

5. Check your safety equipment before you go. 

Lifejackets; marine radio; anchor and chain or line 

(attached to the boat!); emergency flares; EPIRB 

if going out 2 nautical miles or more; bailing 

bucket; fire bucket; fire extinguisher; navigation 

lights, orange V-sheet; waterproof torch. These 

are all mandatory and smart skippers will also 

have First Aid and Tool Kits on board. 

6. Make sure your fuel is fresh. Old fuel causes 

serious problems that can leave you stranded at 

sea. The Boat Owners Association says bio fuels 

are also causing some concern. 

7. Call your local Marine Rescue radio base for a 

radio check. The Marine Rescue operator will tell 

you if your radio signal is strong and clear – or if 

it’s not, so you can fix it before you need it. 

8. Check the weather forecast before you go. Go to 

www.bom.gov.au first. Then listen for weather 

updates on your marine radio or call your local 

Marine Rescue base for the latest information. 

9. Know your position. If you break down out there 

or any other emergency strikes, we need to know 

where you are to come and help. 

10. Take extreme care crossing bars. If you’ve never 

crossed the bar you want to cross, do not 

attempt it 

without getting local advice. 

Then prepare and plan your crossing. 

If in doubt, don’t go out.

continue the tradition. Enjoy entertaining and informative commentary from our local 

skippers as we stop by at Dangar & Milson Islands, Kangaroo Point, Bar Point,

PLAY IN 

BROOKLYN 

Sitting on Hornsby Shire’s northern border – the picturesque Hawkesbury River – Brooklyn is an ideal place to visit. 

Dangar Island 

A short ferry ride from Brooklyn, Dangar Island’s European history stretches all the way back to 1788 when Governor 

Phillip camped here. Going back much further, it was a gathering place for members of the Guringai language group 

and evidence still remains of their engravings, middens and rock shelters. A highlight is Bradleys Beach, ideal for 

a picnic. 

McKell Park 

Located at the end of Dangar Road, this scenic park offers great views of the Hawkesbury. It features barbecues, 

picnic areas, toilets and an enclosed swimming area. The children’s playground has recently had a make-over, 

with new pirate-themed play equipment. 

Saltmarsh Boardwalk 

This track passes through mangroves, saltmarsh, woodlands and forest areas with past evidence of Aboriginal 

occupation. The boardwalk that has been erected to protect the vegetation makes for easy walking. Barbecues, 

picnic areas and a playground are also on offer. 

Bar Island 

Rich in Aboriginal and European history, this uninhabited island is well worth a visit. Among the historic sites 

are a cottage, church and cemetery, as well as Aboriginal middens. Enjoy the native flora and fauna, making sure 

to keep an eye out for the threatened glossy black cockatoo and whistling kites. 

Kangaroo Point 

One of Hornsby Shire’s most beautiful recreation spots, with superb panoramic views of the Hawkesbury River 

and the rail bridge that crosses it. Keep an eye out for major improvements that are planned there, including 

a new restaurant and kiosk.

The original or old side of 

Hornsby Shopping precinct, 

Hornsby Westside grew up 

around the railway station 

after the line was extended 

to the Upper North Shore in 

1884. The area was typified by 

roadside shops which included 

the grocer, draper, chemist, 

deli, greengrocer newsagent, 

tailor, butcher and the original 

Railway Hotel. 

Hornsby Westside is also the civic 

heart of Hornsby. Opposite the 

heritage listed Hornsby Park you will 

find the Hornsby Council Chambers 

and administration offices, Hornsby 

Court House, Hornsby Police Station 

and Hornsby Post Office. Next to 

Hornsby Park is the TAFE which was 

originally the site of Hornsby Public 

School built in 1922. 

The new Hornsby Aquatic Centre is 

finally being constructed in Hornsby 

Park (plans for completion by end of 

2013) and will be a huge attraction 

for all.

While some of the old shops still 

remain, many have gained a new life 

with Hornsby Westside becoming 

a popular Coffee Precinct boasting 

interesting eateries and specialty 

stores. The art deco Odeon Cinema 

which was built in 1914 can still 

provide movie-goers with that 

Hollywood Experience. 

Long held family businesses such as 

Hornsby Tailors and Forbes Footwear 

provide testimony to those who can 

keep up with the changing times and 

fashions, and still be relevant in the 

21st century. 

The Cenotaph in memory of those 

who served in many wars is the 

centrepiece of annual remembrance 

services coordinated by the adjacent 

Hornsby RSL Sub Branch and 

Hornsby RSL Club. Undergoing recent 

major renovations, Hornsby RSL Club 

is one of the star attractions of the 

North Shore. 

Hornsby Railway Station is the 

junction for the North Shore Line and 

the Main Line which makes it the 

ideal base to explore other parts of 

Sydney. 

So for a taste of what Hornsby used 

to be like, don’t forget to take a Walk 

on the Westside!

WHAT WE TOUCH TURNS TO GOLD 

After working for over 20 years for his father, Kurt Seifert, in 

the centre of Sydney where building renovation caused the 

business to move closer to home, Kurt Seifert Jewellers opened 

their shop at 1A William Street Hornsby. 

“This was the best thing we could have done,” said Daniel 

Seifert. “My son started an apprenticeship making him the 

third generation jeweller.” 

After three years in Hornsby, Kurt Seifert Jewellers has quickly 

built a strong friendship with many locals, who now are proudly 

wearing fine pieces of their original jewellery. 

“I have often been told, that the reason for entrusting their 

jewellery with Kurt Seifert Jewellers, is that after talking to 

friends, the Kurt Seifert name would be recommended,” said 

Daniel Seifert. 

“Clients feel confident dealing with a family business which 

operates its own workshop.” 

Here at Kurt Seifert Jewellers we are happy to answer your 

questions about jewellery and help you with any advice.

YOU’LL NOT FIND 

ANOTHER… 

LIKE WALLAROBBA... 

If you’re looking for a taste of culture during your stay 

in Hornsby Shire you should definitely add Wallarobba 

Arts and Cultural Centre to your itinerary. 

Located in central Hornsby, it is the artistic hub of the 

region, with a constant stream of exhibitions showing off 

the works of both locally and nationally renowned artists. 

The gallery was originally a homestead, built in 1903, 

but it has been transformed by Hornsby Council into a highquality 

gallery that won the 2012 Local Government and 

Shires Association award for an improved cultural facility. 

Other facilities at the centre include a community art studio, 

a purpose-built printmaking room and an artists’ lounge. 

Wallarobba is located at 25 Edgeworth David Avenue, 

Hornsby. 

To stay up to date with all its exhibitions visit 

hornsby.nsw.gov.au. 

FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS 

Meanwhile, if you’re lucky enough to find yourself in 

Hornsby Shire between 25 October and 1 December, 

2013, you’re in for a special cultural treat because that is 

when Festival of the Arts is on. 

Plays, concerts and exhibitions are just scratching the 

surface of what is on offer as the artistically minded 

people of the region show off their talents from one end of 

the Shire to the other. 

For more information, including the soon-to-be-published 

full schedule of events, visit hornsby.nsw.gov.au/fota or
