Bare Creek, a watercourse[1] that is part of the Middle Harbour catchment of Sydney Harbour, is located in the northern beaches region of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Course and features
Bare Creek rises in bushland in the north-western corner of Belrose. The main channel of the creek flows west through Garigal National Park, while the steep headwaters originate to the north of the sub-catchment, immediately south of Mona Vale Road. The creek flows generally west south-west before reaching its confluence with Frenchs Creek to form the Middle Harbour Creek, north of the suburb of Davidson. The creek has a course of 3 kilometres (1.9 mi).
Major land uses throughout the catchment area include the Austlink Business Park, low-medium residential development, non-urban bushland (outside the national park) and the Belrose Waste Management Facility. The sub-catchment is around 10 per cent impervious.[2]
A mountain bike facility has been proposed for the catchment area surrounding Bare Creek.[3]
