 In the early 1930s, The Sydney Bushwalkers and the Mountain Trails Club of New South Wales had a lease on seventy-five hectares of land in the area, and were probably responsible for the creation of some of the early tracks and camp sites.This was the beginning of Heathcote National Park, which eventually grew to over two thousand hectares.The park consists of a deeply dissected Hawkesbury sandstone plateau, part of the Woronora Plateau The creek gorges include Heathcote Creek, a tributary of the Georges River.
