Box Head Track

Natural Attractions

Amble along Bouddi National Park’s most southern ridge, taking in breathtaking water views over the Tasman Sea and Hawkesbury River as you go.

Beginning at the end of Hawke Head Drive, Box Head track alternates between rugged bushland and open windswept heath.

Keep your eye out for hidden treasures as you walk – an assortment of birdlife flits amongst the red gums and the rocky outcrops host a variety of moss and dwarfed trees.

You’ll find clifftop patches offering panoramas, particularly at the end of the track from Box Head lookout, where you’ll enjoy fantastic views over Tallow Beach, Little Tallow Beach, Broken Bay, Lion Island and Sydney’s northern beaches. The track is joined by Flannel Flower walking track and Tallow Beach trail, which descends to Tallow Beach campground.
