Pittwater: The Basin Walk

The walk begins at the campsite and goes straight up!  Although only a 6 km round trip, it starts with a very steep long climb to the ridge top, where there are Aboriginal Etchings in the Hawkesbury sandstone.

Orange angophora trunks contrasted with the scribbly gums and sandstone cliffs.

Along the track so many plants are now flowering and the birds are very happy about that!

Honeyeaters, wattlebirds and lorikeets were enjoying the nectar, while red-tailed black cockatoos were feasting on casuarina nuts.
