Here the walk follows the Blue Gum Walk through one of Sydney’s rare blue gum forest stands, crossing Berowra Creek a few times at Fishponds waterhole. After exploring the edge of the valley the walk crosses the Steele Military Bridge before climbing to Tunks Ridge rest area. Not far from here, the walk starts to lead steeply down past more sandstone caves before crossing under Galston Road to find the Galston Trackhead.
