Yanina Walk

And Walk

Yanina Walk

Yanina Walk is a gentle walk, exploring one of the ridges at the top of Kincumber Mountain. The walk follows a wide management trail from the main Honemans Picnic area, leading to the good views of Colin Watters Lookout. The notes describe a side trip to Nyari Lookout, but the views are very limited. The view from Colin Watters Lookout is arguably the best in the park, extending down Picketts Valley to Avoca Lake and Beach. There is a picnic table at the lookout, encouraging a snack before returning to the start.

Honeman’s Rock picnic area

Honeman’s Rock picnic area is a large picnic area at the top end of Island View Drive. This picnic area has a couple of large grassy areas[1], composting toilets[2], free electric BBQs[3], picnic tables[4], shelters, garbage bins[5], drinking water[6] and information signs[7]. The picnic area is home to a mud brick building[8] (available for hire) and Honeman’s Rock[9], from which the area derives its name. There is a fair amount of parking available next the picnic area, and some extra spaces a few hundred meters down the road.

Honeman’s Rock

Honeman’s Rock (aka Honeyman’s Rock) is a large rock outcrop in front of the mud brick building, in the Honeman’s Rock Picnic area. The exposed section of rock is 60m long and about 30m wide, with the western side having a significant unfenced drop. The rock is named after Cecil Lyle Honeman who became a lease holder on the mountain in 1962. The rock has a large depression that once filled with water, and a drain has been dug to keep the pool empty and clear of rubbish.

Mud Brick Building

The mud brick building is a landmark in the main picnic area at Kincumber Mountain, and is a popular spot to gather. Also known as ‘Kincumber Mountain Information Centre’, ‘The Kiosk’, ‘Kincumber Kiosk’ and ‘Kincumber Mountain Kiosk’, the building was constructed in 1986 with funding from Community Employment Programme. The building is generally locked but can be booked through the local Lions Club for special events. The building has a rain water tank, small kitchen and one main large room. The verandah also provides good shelter.

Colin Watters Lookout

A plaque[29] explains that this lookout was named in 1992 in honour of the Colin D Watters, who was Senior Parks Supervisor with Gosford Council. The fenced[30] lookout provides great view south-east, down Picketts Valley to Avoca Lake and Beach[31]. The lookout is also home to an information board[32], bench seat[33], picnic table and garbage bin[34]. This lookout offers one of the best views in the park and makes a great spot to stop and rest.

Moderate track

From the car park (about 230m from the end of Kincumber St past the ‘Kincumber Mountain Regional Reserve’ sign[1]), this walk heads to the back of the car park, through the gap in the fence and turns right. The walk follows the track, keeping the water tank up the hill to the right. The walk leads up some timber steps through the rocks and, soon after passing the water tank, the track comes to a ‘T’ intersection with a management trail.
Veer left: From the intersection, this walk follows the wide management trail away from the water tank and gently down the hill, keeping the valley to the left. The trail meanders through the bush for about 300m, rounding a wide sweeping right-hand bend – during this bend, the walk comes to a rocky outcrop with a view into the valley (on the left). From here, the walk continues around the bend and up the hill. As the walk enters a more lush section of forest, the trail becomes narrower for a while. The trail then begins to climb again as it widens back out, before coming to a locked gate and road. The walk crosses the road, coming to a small clearing on the other side.

Continue straight: From the clearing, this walk heads up the ramp behind the clearing, keeping the road to the left. The track leads up the timber steps, between the timber posts and turns right, heading up more steps. The rocky track flattens out somewhat and heads along the top of the ridge, among the grass trees and angophora forest, where the track then leads down the hill to the road. At the road, the walk turns right to follow the road for about 10m, then turns left and follows the track back into the bush (now with the road to the right). This track gently meanders for almost 100m before coming to the bottom of a car park, a picnic shelter and a ‘Glasson’s Trail – Island View Entrance 1300 metres’ sign[2] pointing back down the track.

Glasson’s Trail Picnic Area

At the lower end of the overflow car park, near the top of Glasson’s Trail, is a single picnic table and shelter[3]. There are no other facilities here. A short distance from the main picnic area, this is an alternative spot for those wanting a picnic table amongst more native trees.

The track follows the footpath for a short time before coming to a large clearing and another ‘Glassons Trail’ sign[6] pointing back down to the car park. From here, the walk heads across the grassy area, bending to the right around the rock to come to the end of Honeman’s rock (on the left) and a gate (on the right) (just in view of the mud brick building).
Continue straight: From Honeman’s rock, this walk heads up the hill over the grassy clearing to the front of the mud brick building and the car park on the right.

Mud Brick Building

Honeman’s Rock picnic area

Honeman’s Rock picnic area is a large picnic area at the top end of Island View Drive. This picnic area has a couple of large grassy areas[9], composting toilets[10], free electric BBQs[11], picnic tables[12], shelters, garbage bins[13], drinking water[14] and information signs[15]. The picnic area is home to a mud brick building[16] (available for hire) and Honeman’s Rock[17], from which the area derives its name. There is a fair amount of parking available next the picnic area, and some extra spaces a few hundred meters down the road.

After about 120m the walk turns right, following another ‘Kanning Walk’ sign[22], and passes between two large, exposed tree root systems. Soon after this, the track is concrete for a short distance and passes along the base of a long rock wall. The walk goes down some steel stairs and across a timber bridge, coming to a sandstone overhang cave. This cave is quite large and has a ‘cave 100m’ sign[23], pointing further along the track. Follow this sign for about 150m, passing over a steel platform, up a small rise and down some steel stairs. From the base of these stairs, the walk continues for about 25m along the flat track to find the unsignposted entrance to the cave. The entrance is between two large boulders on the left[24].

Kanning Walk Cave

The main cave on Kanning Walk is surprising large for a sandstone environment. The cave has two main sections. There is a large cabin about 7m wide and 9m deep. A small tunnel extends about 10m further to a small chamber at the back. The entrance to the cave is behind two large boulders, providing extra shelter. It is believed that A. A. Glasson lived in the cave in the early 1930’s, which was not uncommon during the depression. The cave has proved to be a great place to rest on hot days.

Hard track

From opposite number 2 Bembooka Rd, Green Point (just downhill from the roundabout), this walk leaves the road and follows the track into the bush, with a fence on the right. The track soon leaves the fence (and ignores a track to the right) and heads up the hill. The track follows the ridge, getting steeper as it gets higher. As the track nears the rocks, it zigzags a little, working its way up, then a short distance later comes to a clearing, bench seat and the signposted ‘Warriwarri Lookout’ sign[1].

Warriwarri Lookout

Warriwarri Lookout is an overgrown and signposted[2] lookout in the middle of Kincumber Mountain Reserve. There is a fairly large clearing and a bench seat[3]. There are slightly better views north, past the sign at the unfenced rock outcrop. The filtered views look north-east. The view from the lookout is overgrown, so do not expect much in the way of views.

Continue straight: From the intersection, this walk follows the ‘Warriwarri Lookout’ sign[16] north along the wide sandy trail. The flat trail gently winds through the bush, passing an informal track (on the right) and soon coming to a small clearing, bench seat and signposted ‘Warriwarri Lookout’[17], which offers limited views.

Warriwarri Lookout

Warriwarri Lookout is an overgrown and signposted[18] lookout in the middle of Kincumber Mountain Reserve. There is a fairly large clearing and a bench seat[19]. There are slightly better views north, past the sign at the unfenced rock outcrop. The filtered views look north-east. The view from the lookout is overgrown, so do not expect much in the way of views.
