Sydney Bushwalks & Getaways

From Engadine station we will head down to the Engadine Lagoon on the Woronora River. We will follow the banks of the Woronora river downstream to The Needles. Following the old Illawarra Rd, we climb up to Barden Ridge.

We follow Barden Ridge towards Lucas Heights taking in the many lookouts on the way (See picture above). We descend back down to the Woronora river via the Winnells Wander track. After crossing the Woronora River (wet feet highly likely), we climb backup to Engadine for refreshments at the Engadine RSL before the short walk back to the station.

This walk contains off track walking with some rough and overgrown sections. It is unlikely we will be able to cross the Woronora river without getting wet feet. You may want to bring a pair of old volleys for the river crossing. You can cross bare-footed.
