Who would believe there is a fabulous bush walk in Chatswood? That's why it is called Chatswood Charms, a delightful hike in the bushy area of Chatswood West. We find creeks, waterfalls, fabulous birdlife and lots of steps. It is easy to take a wrong turn. I hear many stories of people losing their way, so ensure you keep up with the leader, or you will need to get an Uber back to the car!

Today is a nice east FAST walk around the waters of Roseville, starting in a dead end street, we find our first set of steps. We are going to head out to the Roseville Marina, depending upon our group, we may go all the way (adding another 3KM on) or we just stop under the bridge and turn around. As we head past our entry point, we continue on this magical trail till we find what we call Wellington Steps, yes, 250 steps all the way up to Wellington Road. After looking out over the view of where we have just walked we will head back to the cars via the same path.
