Como Heritage Trail Bush Walk – Short
About The Walk
This bush walk section of the Como Heritage trail has a stunning view of the Georges River. The walk will probably take about 20 minutes depending on how fast you are walking and if you decide to stop along the way.
You need to walk downhill to reach the bush track and there is a steep uphill walk (on Wolger St) on the way back.
Pram Friendly: No
Toilets: No
Parking: On-street only
There is a tire swing and a wood and rope swing not far from the start of the walk, plus a big rock where you can sit and watch the river.
Keep an eye out for some narrow steps that will appear on your left about halfway along the bush track, there are some rocks at the bottom where you can sit and take in the scenery.
Starting The Como Heritage Trail Bush Walk.
Start at the corner of Burunda and Keele St and walk down the path opposite Burunda St, then turn right (there’s a house on your right), you will see a Como Heritage Walk signpost directing you down a set of steps on the left.
Turn right at the bottom of the steps and walk all the way to the bottom of the road (a fairly steep downward slope).
When you reach the end of the road, you’ll hit the bush track, take a right and keep walking.
You’ll see a house on the right, followed shortly by a path going down to the left, walk down here to see the best view of the river. The swing is also down this path. Otherwise, stay on the track to continue the walk.
Towards the end of the track, the path gets a little narrower and you will head back up the hill with a few steps to climb.
The bush track then leads to a path sloping down to Central Avenue.
Walk down Central avenue, past the roundabout and take a right when you reach Wolger Street, walking up the hill.
Turn right at the top of the hill and walk down Woronora Crescent until you reach Keele St, walk to the bottom of the road and you are back to the start of the walk.
