Veer left: From the intersection[10], this walk follows the fairly wide Gibberagong Track[11] north east, gently downhill. The track soon starts to narrow and lead a little steeper down a series of timber steps[12] for about 80m before heading down through a notably steep rocky pass[13]. Here the track continues to winds down the ridge moderately steeply for just shy of 250m, to step down a rock pass around a right hand hair-pin bend[14]. Then just 30m later the track bends sharply left at another hair-pin bend[15] then just shy of 50m later the track bends sharply right[16] again. From here the track leads down the series of timber and stone steps through then casurina forest[17] for about 200m to come to a 'Bobbin Head' sign[18], just before distinct gully. Here the walk veers left (following the arrow on the sign) and heads down the bank to cross Lovers Jump Creek[19] on the mossy rocks with carved steps[20]. After heading up the other bank this walk follows the clear track near Cockle Creek for just shy of 100m to a more open section providing clearer views over the creek[21] and the southern section of Gibberagong Waterholes. From here the track then leads further down the widening valley through the tall eucalypt and stringy bark forest[22] for 100m to a intersection with a faint track (on your right) at a tall smooth bark angophera[23], marked with an obvious sign pointing back 'To Grosvenor Street'.

Continue straight: From the intersection, beside the large smooth bark angophera[24], this walk follows the 'To Bobbin Head' sign along the clear track gently downhill, keeping the creek a short distance to your left, for about 20m to pass a section of metal fencing[25] propped up by a tree. The walk continues for another 10m or so to come to a flat area beside[26] the northern end of Gibberagong waterholes[27], this is just before the track crosses a small side creek[28].

Gibberagong waterhole

Gibberagong waterhole
Gibberagong waterhole is an informal name for a wide section of Cockle Creek that run for over 150m north of the confluence with Lovers Jump creek. This secluded and shady spot is a great place to sit and enjoy the waterholes, cascading water and the view to the sandy banks on the other side. If you sit quietly enough you may see lyrebirds scratching through the bush by the creek.

After 25m this walk crosses a small side creek[31] them follows the track gently uphill for just shy of 100m to pass a rock platform[32] (on your left), with a good view over this bend in Cockle Creek[33]. The track continues up the side of the hill for another 100m to pass alongside an 2m high natural rock wall[34] then about 120m later this walk leads back down close to the edge of the creek[35]. Just over 120m later the track leads under two tall over hangs[36][37] (the first overhang has a notable hole high in the roof[38]), then just over 100m later the track leads under a set of power lines[39] (a bit tricky to see through the canopy). From here the track continues to gently undulate along the side of the hill, in view of the creek, for just over 1km to come back down to a pleasant, fairly open forest[40] on a sandy bank beside a long pool[41] on Cockle Creek (with a few small cascades upstream[42]). The track continues downstream for another 100m to cross over a mostly but mostly flat rock platform[43] then over the next 200m the track leads up the side of the hill to cross a shallow gully[44] with several tall palms among the mostly tall eucalypt forest[45]. Here the track passes under a two sets of high tension power lines[46]. The track continues to undulate along the side of hill for another 200m to lead down to to the rocky creeks edge again[47], near the upper reaches of the tidal section of the creek[48]. From here the now mostly flat track continues downstream beside the creek for 300m to come to a notably flat and open sandy area with some bracken fern beside the creek[49]. The track then leads alongside the tidal section of Cockle Creek among the mixed forest of casuarina[50], grass trees[51] and tall eucalypt[52] for just shy of 300m to then head through a 200m long section section of mangroves[53] with a scattering of open casuarina forest[54]. Here the rocky track leads up the side of the hill, up a few steps to the top of the ridge line. Just as the track comes to the top of this hill it bends right and comes to a three-way intersection[55], where a 'Wahroonga 5km' sign[56] points back down the track.

Continue straight: From the intersection, this walk follows the 'Rainforest 500m' sign[57] gently uphill along the clear track heading south east. After about 60m the track starts to lead gently down the side of the hill among the grass tree and eucalypt forest[58] for about 100m before leading down a series of timber steps into the more densely forest gully[59]. Here the walk comes to a sandstone rock bed[60] and creek in a pleasant rainforest setting[61]. At the end of this side trip, retrace your steps back to the main walk then Turn right.

Bobbin Head Rainforest

Bobbin Head Rainforest
A well-protected piece of rainforest is found just a short walk from the popular Bobbin Head picnic area in Ku-Ring-Gai Chase National Park. The rainforest is distinct when compared to much of the dry eucalypt forests that dominate the area. The rainforest is beside a small creek, just below Bobbin Head Road, and is a safe haven for many birds that frequent the area.

Aboriginal Axe Grindings

Aboriginal Axe Grindings
This protected site clearly shows 23 oval-shaped grooves that were worn by Indigenous Australian people, making axe heads from hard rock. Using a blank axe head, the Aboriginal people would use this rock platform, with water from the nearby creek, to sharpen the stone into a useful tool. The rubbing ground the axe head to a sharp edge and left behind these tell-tale signs. More info.

Here the walk continues generally down along the ridge for just shy of 300m where the track leads over a rock platform before heading down some steps that lead through a cleft in the rock[70]. The track then leads past a small sandstone overhang[71] to head down a timber ramp to find a timber boardwalk, marked with a 'More?' sign[72].
