The Point Clare to Tascott walk is a peaceful 4km return bushwalk that follows a quiet ridgeline above Brisbane Water. This elevated trail gives you filtered water views through the trees, birdsong all the way, and a real sense of being away from it all, even though you're not far from the train line or the town below.

The track climbs from the back of Point Clare and follows the high ground through dry eucalypt forest, angophoras, and rocky outcrops. You’ll spot lyrebirds, wallabies, and even the odd echidna if you’re lucky. This is a great option if you’re looking for a Central Coast walk with elevation.
