The Convict Trail — Attraction in Sydney

Simple route. Convicts trail in Darug National Park. We walked further on and did a big loop circa 10km. Devines Hill (45 mins) up Old Great North Road, then turned left at the Great North Road sign post to follow the loop around Shepperds Gully Circuit (30 mins). Then once back at the sign post, follow Finch's Line trail all the way to Wisemens Ferry Road (1.15 hours) then back along the road to the start of Convicts Trail (20 mins) where we started. There's space for 3-4 cars at the entrance of Convicts Trail which is about 1 minute drive from the ferry crossing. Good walk, plenty of hills and a clear path...

Loved this walk. Nice wide path, very manageable incline, suitable for children. Plenty of history to read about along the way. You'll get a great sense of how amazing an engineering achievement this was - for something built in the early 1800's. Not much parking at the start of the trail (5 or 6 spots), we had to travel down the road a little further. Great way to spend an hour wearing out the kids if you're...

Convict built road which is a 9km loop walk which has lots of amazing engineering feats considering the location and how it was built. Reasonably easy walk considering it is a grade 4 walk. There is a small section which is pretty steep and rough towards the end of the walk when you descend back down to the river. Some great views of the hawkesbury river. Recommend doing this walk if you love...
