Further explorations up Cockle Creek

I ventured into deepest unexplored bush country this morning. Or that's what it felt like. There were hints of disused walking tracks. There were no other humans to be glimpsed, but a large wallaby hopped past at one stage.

Yet the M1 motorway was just above and to my east, and the suburbs of Wahroonga and Asquith were a couple of hundred metres away to either side. What a discovery!

 

 

 

 

I'd entered this secret world by way of an opening in the bush at the end of Stokes Aveue, Asquith, and I exited with the help of a fortuitously placed footbridge which led to a track up to King Road, Hornsby.

 

 

 

 

I think the footbridge is there to service the mysterious 'Chemical Dosing Unit' which is located near there. I feel the need to research this more, but suspect it's more to do with removing nasties from the creek than with adding them.

Ku-ring-gai Chase NP's undiscovered bits #3: Cockle Creek & its tunnel

It's a few hundred metres south of the Banksy tunnel, which carries Golf Course Creek. (See: Banksy Tunnel) This one carries Cockle Creek, as well as the odd adventurous bushwalker commuting between Wahroonga and Asquith.

It's accessed from near Mills Park in Asquith, or from a side track off the Gibberagong Track near its North Wahroonga start.

Covid countdown - Asquith Park

This must be legal exercise park #87. And it's another goodie.

Another day, another exercise park. A bit nondescript, this one, but it does the job.
