After being locked down for several months I felt I needed to ease back into my bush forays, Bob Turners seem suitably short and relatively easy, and it was.
As I have mentioned in previous posts, before 1900 there was a proposal to construct a train line from Penrith to Rylstone mostly along the Colo river and further west the Wolgan river. Bob Turners Track was originally a pack horse path to the river used by the surveyors at the time of the survey. The proposed rail line was surveyed but never constructed. Bob Turners was restored in 1970 and later named "Bob Turners Track" in 1979 when the Wollemi National Park was declared. Bob Turner was a Mayor of Ku-ring-gai who was involved with the tracks restoration.
