Bushwalking: Eastwood-Chatswood-Lane Cove River (21km) Medium/Hard

**Bushwalking: Eastwood-Chatswood-Lane Cove River (21km) Medium/Hard** We meet at **Eastwood Railway Station** by 9:40AM and walk about 15 min to **Terrys Creek Track**. This leads through to **Marsfield** and under the M2 Motorway, where we meet up with **Lane Cove River** and the **Busaco Trail** which leads through to **Macquarie University**. We exit the bush and, about 10km in, find ourselves at **Macquarie Centre Shopping Mall**, for lunch and clean bathrooms. Yay! Lunch done, we sneak back to the Lane Cove River and re-join this wonderful river/bush walk, which snakes past **North Ryde** and **West Lindfield** bringing us into the back of **Chatswood** via the local golf course and a bunch of **Kookaburras**. A final climb through the backstreets gets us to **Chatswood Railway Station**. **Distance:** 20km **Type of Walk:** Rugged bush tracks, local roads. **Difficulty:** Medium/Hard **Walking Pace:** We will maintain a steady pace all day and must average about 4 km per hour to finish on time. **Meeting Place and Transport:** No later than 9:15AM at Eastwood Station; Railway Parade Exit.
