Sheldon Forest Walking Track - (NSW)

Angosturas Cast Avondale Dam (the wall) can be accessed off Comenarra Parkway, West Pymble via a walking track which is not marked. Not a lot to see as the upper part of the dam is fenced off. Graffiti over some of the wall. To access the dam, there is a tract of land at the end of Pembroke Ave...no actual track and be prepared to trek through ferns. Lots of birdlife.

Jenny Hao Good place for a morning walk. Lots of ovals, and playground facilities, scattered over the park, there are BBQs too. Good for family weekend. Go there early, I think the place is very popular.

Veronica McConachy A wonderful walk, lots of birdlife and stunning walks. There are many tracks to wander along, from big gums to rainforest tracks that meandering alongside of a stream. Keep your eye out for the black cockatoo, kookaburras and there is an owl that nests there also. Definitely worth your time.

Parinaz Beautiful, well manicured park. Full of flowers! Very quiet and peaceful. Not much to do as its a smallish park...but you can surely take a short stroll and then admire the garden from one of the benches. I dont think many people visit this place as its always empty! Every time we visit, its like our own personal park. Its right on the main road, so you need to park in one of the lanes near by.

Ernie Shepherd Gorgeous walk and forest. Like an untouched piece of land full of trees and ferns

Jon Heddou Really nice park centred in a quiet neighbourhood

McDonald Gordon “Hawkesbury” If you’ve ever wondered what Sydney looked like before the city took over, then head to Browns Forest loop trail, in the North Sydney suburb of St Ives. Immerse yourself in unspoilt bushland within Dalrymple-Hay Nature Reserve by taking advantage of its short and easy walking track. Just 30 minutes north of the CBD, it’s ideal for birdwatching enthusiasts, nature-lovers and botanists, and is a great walk for kids. You’ll enter a forest of majestic blue gums and magnificent blackbutts that hark back to pre-colonial times with a lush understorey of ferns. Following the clearly signposted path, the kids will enjoy the self-guided series of interpretation signs. In the spring, the ground cover of native flowers, such as the blue flax lily and pastel flower, burst into a colourful display. Any time of year, you’ll hear the chatter of birds such as rainbow lorikeets, crimson rosellas and king parrots echoing through the bush
