About the Walking Track
"From Glenbrook Station follow Burfitt Parade to steps up to Grey Street. More street walking takes you to the lookouts around the Bluff before following the Tramway Track across Darkes Common to wander down to the 1892 tunnel. Head north to the underpass under the Great Western Highway and down Knapsack Street to the Zig-Zag Track to Knapsack Viaduct and Mitchells Pass. A short scramble takes you to Bunyarra Drive and Reserve before a short street walk to Emu Plains cemetery and historic St Pauls Church. Another street walk takes you to the Great Western Highway past the pioneer school, homes and inns to Emu Plains Station.
Public Transport
