Last Sunday, the 3 of us that are going to Kokoda next month did the Berowra to Cowan walk.
It starts at the carpark at Berowra railway station and can end up either at Cowan railway station or back at Berowra, depending on which track you take for the last 3klm of the walk.
The walk itself is mostly either up or down, it goes for about 12 klm and takes about 6 hours at a leisurely walk.Maybe leisurely walk isnt quite the right descrition,its quite a hard slog and very slow going but well worth the effort.
Weve also done Perrys Lookdown to Bluegum Forest and back at Blackheath, the Golden Stairway to the Federal Pass track at Katoomba and the Six Foot Track from Katoomba to the Jenolan Caves.
All these are excellent training tracks and maps are available on the internet for them all.
Hi Peter,
As you know, we are also leaving Sydney on 11th July to trek Kokoda to Owers Corner (12 in the group). We have trained by doing Berowra station to Berowra Waters then to Valley lookout (about 2km short of Cowan station) and return to Berowra via Berowra Waters. It's 20km return.
Also, last Sunday, most of us did Perrys Lookdown to Blue Gum forest – twice.
We think we are getting there
Hi Tom.
Perrys Lookdown twice in the same day is a very big walk,,it nearly killed us doing it once.
We are leaving Sydney on the 10th,,are you staying at the Gateway ???
