Warriewood Wetlands
Looking for a leisurely stroll through through the trees, surrounded by birdsong? Try this one. The walk is not a long one - The track through the wetlands is just 2.4 km. But with a side trip to a local waterfall, you can clock up about 5km or around 6000 steps.
Duffys Wharf Track
