About 30 kilometres north of Sydney is the beautiful Bobbin Heads, located inside the equally beautiful Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. Ku-ring-gai Chase is the Aboriginal word meaning the home of or hunting ground of the local people. Bobbin Head was named after a rock in the bay water that appeared to bob up and down with the rise and fall of the tides.
We parked near the old Inn which is now used as a tourist information centre and coffee shop.
Then walked through the Empire Marina looking for a couple short walks we had selected.
The Bobbin Head rock or what is left has not been build over.
First off we tried part of the Bobbin Head Trail, this trial goes about 6km but we just decided to do a 1 kilometre out and back as it had the best views.
Good views usually mean a bit of steep climb, luckily this was only about 140 meters of elevation gain.
Most of the New South Wales National parks are really well sign posted but there is a daily enter fee or an annual pass required. The annual pass is now $70 but a bit more if you want to access the Snowy Mountains Ski area.
Back down from the lookouts we added another one kilometre walk along the Warrimoo track which hugged along side the Cowan Creek.
A Lyre Bird on the left hard to photo on my phone as they are shy and like hiding out in steep ground.
The information board said Aboriginals lived and hunted for thousands of years in this area before escaped convicts and bush rangers hid out in the caves. Eventually they build a road and it became a popular picnic and boating area.
We saw quite a bit of wild Life on the walks. A small Goanna.
An even bigger Goanna
A Bull Ant with a nasty bite.
Brush Turkey
Noisy Miner
Pelican
A quick stop at Apple Tree Bay, thanks for reading

What a beautiful place. Reminds me a lot of my home of WV here in the USA. I look forward to summer arriving here in the states. Too bad I still have 5-6 months of waiting left.
Cheers mate. I need to get to WV one day but will definitely wait until summer.

We have some of the best white water rafting in the world here.
It's been a while but I did some white water rafting in my younger days up in north Queensland on the Tully river. Would be good to give it another go.
I’ve been only 3 times total, but it’s always an amazing experience and I hope to go again next year.
