Authors Comments:
This book covers Yengo, Dharug, and Popran National Parks - a large area of rugged ridges,
cliffs and sandy creeks north-west of Sydney. Its a great area for bushwalking, panoramic
views, and mountain bike riding. A central feature of the area is the Macdonald River - a
shallow, sandy stream which winds its way through more than 40 kilometres of wilderness
(see cover picture). The parks also contain much aboriginal rock art and the fascinating,
convict-built, Old Great North Road. There are over 20 walks each with sketch maps and
photos. The walks range from easy strolls to multi-day wilderness treks. There's also
sections giving driving instructions, park info, and equipment and navigation guidance
(including GPS).
