WARRAH TRIG LOOKOUT - FLOWERS, BLUE TONGUES, VIEWS - 15 OCTOBER 2018

The weather was looking better today.

I parked at Brisbane Water National Park at the end of Warrah Trig Road. There is a small car park for about eight cars.

It is a short walk to Warrah Trig itself then a walk along a path down to Warrah Lookout. 

The path was lined with wildflowers and there was a strong fragrance from them. The coolish weather seemed to be reducing the number of active insects that normally buzz around all the flowers.

The path was stepped, paved and wet. There are a number of turnoffs leading out to various vies over the coast and the hinterland.

The path ends at a large lookout with sweeping views over Broken Bay and Pittwater. It is in my opinion one of the best and most accessible views on the Central Coast.

I wandered along the cliff edge and settled down on a secluded rock ledge and enjoyed the views and watched a number of lizards at rest.

BRISBANE WATER NP MTB - WARRAH TRACKS ENCORE - 12 DECEMBER 2015

I parked at the start of the Sani Depot trail on Patonga Road at Brisbane Water National Park.

Down the hill and turned to the right to follow the Neera Trail. I had a ride there a few days ago and liked it. It was a good track starting as a disused service road and turning into a narrow track weaving between trees, rocks and bushes. There was a big steep climb at towards the end.

Back on the main road and up to the start of the Van Dahl Trail. I followed this partially, turning off to the left to play on a smooth undulating slab of sandstone and to admire the landward view.

I backtracked and followed a number of trails and played on a large area of tessellated sandstone.

Back onto the main road and down the hill towards Patonga, I turned left on to the service road that connects as far as Pearl Beach. I followed as far as Warrah Trig lookout and admired the view across Broken Bay.

Backtracked uphill and turned to right to a link road connecting to Warrah Road. Followed Warrah Road and turned right on a fun, narrow, bushed lined track then joined the main road and peddled a short distant to the van.

A fun 9.61 km ride with an elevation range of 95 metres.
