Following what was the old rail line from Belmont to Adamstown, this track is a great ride. A couple of road crossings but they're well marked and (ped) traffic lights on the busier one crossing Oakdale Rd. Other than that, it a separate shared path. You also still get to ride through the great railway tunnel at the Adamstown end. Lots of foot traffic and kids about on the weekends. Highly recommended.

Fantastic cycleway right through the city and possibly NSW's oldest rail trail.

We rode all the way out to Caves Beach, which is definitely worth seeing.
