The Fernleigh Track offers a great opportunity for a longer inland run in Newcastle. The paved multi-use path follows an old coal rail line for up to 15 km between Adamstown and Belmont. The terrain is a mix: woods (bushland), residential, and some wetlands. This brochure has detailed information on the path’s features & segment distances.
The northern terminus is off Park Ave. near the Adamstown Train Station. Head south for as many km as you like! At the 2 km mark, a tunnel runs underneath the highway. At 3 km, the path passes through the Glenrock Conservation Area, where you can join the Yuelarbah Trail. Other key points: Whitebridge access (km 5.1), Redhead (km 10), Belmont Wetlands State Park (km 12-14).
