Difficulty
We will first visit the newly developed Hornsby Park, then continue into the Blue Gum forest for a bushwalk. This hike is suitable for students with some hiking experience. The scenery is beautiful, and there is no major elevation gain. However, once we enter the bushwalking section, there is no easy exit point halfway.

Please Prepare
👖 Long pants are required, as there may be leeches in the bush. Long sleeves are also recommended.
👟 Wear covered sports shoes and avoid exposing your ankles.
☀️ Bring sun protection.
💧 Bring around 1.5–2L of drinking water.
🍳 Please have breakfast before coming. Energy snacks are recommended.

This event only for USYD postgraduate students
