Check out the recently installed GeoRegion trail sign in Bicentennial Park, West Pymble.

The cliff face bordering the east side of Lofberg Oval is a former quarry face that once yielded a hard, recrystallised form of Hawkesbury Sandstone, actually known as quartzite. The sandstone was hardened by the intrusion of a north north-east aligned basalt dyke, now deeply weathered but still exposed, tucked into a notch in the old quarry face.

Grants Castle is located roughly 1.3 km south of Bicentennial Park and doesn’t appear to have any surviving igneous body adjacent to it.
