Track Notes Turn by turn instructions & maps

Getting started
From the 'Yarramalong Trackhead' (at the intersection of Yarramalong and Bumble Hill Roads), this walk follows the 'Cedar Brush Creek' sign along Yarramalong Road, away from Yarramalong Store. This walk continues through Yarramalong for about 400m, to cross a bridge over the Wyong River. Then this walk continues straight ahead past farm properties, undulating gently, for just shy of 3km, until coming to a three-way intersection, with 'Brush Creek Road' and a GNW 'Cedar Brush' sign on the left.....
