Ku-ring-gai GeoRegion

The Ku-ring-gai GeoRegion celebrates one of Australia’s most geologically and culturally significant landscapes — from ancient volcanic formations and diverse ecosystems to rich Aboriginal heritage.

Spanning six protected areas including Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, coastal cliffs and the lagoons of the Northern Beaches, the GeoRegion brings together natural landmarks through self-guided geotrails, educational signage and immersive storytelling. Led by Friends of Ku-ring-gai Environment (FOKE), this community-driven initiative promotes conservation, education and sustainable tourism — and is a first step toward potential UNESCO Global Geopark recognition.

Thanks to funding from Council’s Environmental Levy Grant, FOKE is installing interpretive signage and developing new walks to help locals and visitors explore the area’s deep geological and cultural history.

GeoRegion sites

Fox Valley, Browns Field Diatreme

The first of six proposed Georegion Trails have been installed at Fox Valley. A diatreme is a volcanic crater/plug formed by explosive eruptions which have then eroded over. Selected sites are unique geological/landscape stories that are easily accessed and frequently visited. Go and take a look!
