Students will travel via bus to Berowra Waters. They will hike into the National Park along the Great North Walk and arrive at Crosslands Reserve by approximately 3:30pm. Students will set-up the campsite and camp overnight.

Students are expected to bring their own food and need to cook and clean up after themselves. Students will leave Crosslands Reserve approximately 9am the next morning and hike back out of the National Park to Mt Kuring-Gai where they will be collected by the buses.

Students are expected to wear appropriate clothing for hiking including appropriate footwear. Van's, Converse and Air Force One's are not suitable for walking. Student shoulders must be covered and long tights or pants are preferred (no cropped t-shirts). Students must also wear a hat throughout the walk to minimise the risk of sunburn.
