Resolute picnic area
Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, NSW
West Head's picnic clearing — toilets, barbecues and the trailhead for the Aboriginal Heritage walk, Red Hands Cave and Resolute Beach.
About this place
Resolute picnic area sits just short of the end of West Head Road in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, the practical base for West Head lookout, the Aboriginal Heritage walk and the steep tracks down to Resolute and West Head beaches. NPWS toilets, picnic tables and barbecues are here, plus a bus turnaround. It is the signed start of the 4.4km Aboriginal Heritage loop and the short walk to Red Hands Cave. Come for lunch after the lookout, or start walking before the West Head gates lock (8.30pm daylight saving, 6pm otherwise). Park entry $12. No dogs.
Access & getting there
