Easy track
Continue straight: From the intersection, the walk heads fairly steeply downhill along the concrete path. The path passes a few signs[6] over about 100m, then comes to an intersection with a track (on your left), marked with a timber barricade and a GNW arrow post[7].
Veer right: From the intersection, this follows the concrete path downhill for just shy of 50m to come to a intersection with a dirt management trail[8]. This intersection is beside the Lane Cove River crossing[9] (on your left) and is marked with a ‘The Great North Walk’ sign here[10].
