Trace the footsteps of convict road gangs on this 12 km loop through Dharug National Park.

Ascend the beautifully engineered, World Heritage–listed Devines Hill road (part of the Old Great North Road) to a former stockade plateau. Then descend the steeper Finch's Line with sweeping views over the Hawkesbury River.

Along the way, your guides — professional archaeologists and historians — unpack the human stories, engineering feats, and convict graffiti that still mark the stonework today.
