The Great North Walk connects New South Wales' two largest cities from the obelisk in Australia's first planned town square to the wharf from which its oldest home-built steamship still sails in over 250 historical kilometres. The Great North Walk is a wonderful trail following many tracks through a bewildering array of natural and urban environments. Created in 1988, as an Australian Bicentennial project, the Great North Walk is rich in the history of New South Wales.
