Big Jims Point

One of my local walks, probably do this about once a year. 12.5klm or thereabouts.

A side track before you head along the main ridge along the river takes you down to a lower viewpoint looking across at Gentlemans Halt. You know you are there when you get to the bulldozer  and a sentinel rock pillar.

Views across to Gentlemans Halt

and behind to Spencer and Mangrove Creek. 

Back on the main ridge where the electricity pylons cross over into Marramarra National Park. 

At the end of the track at Big Jims Point with views down to Bar Point and the mouth of Berowra creek. 

Coming back I found another set of cliffs with some higher views back to Gentlemans Halt and Spencer. 

Rather than follow the main trail back I took a "short cut" down into the valley and then pushed through the Gas pipeline cutting back to the main trail.

Reflections in the water pooled on the track. I had stopped here to watch a frog that had taken shelter in the puddle. You can just make him out in the top centre of the photo. 

The gas pipeline cutting is steep and requires a bit of scrambling up some small clifflines and rubble. An old fireplace shows this as a camp cave. But the rock drawing of a penis probably means it wasnt an old aboriginal site.
