The River Walk

Macintyre River Walk at Inverell

The Alternative starting point is the intersection at Byron and Swanbrook Road, where Byron becomes the Ashford Road. The path leads to the Macintyre River and onto Sweaney Lane. The path along Sweaney Lane leads to the O'Connor Street Bridge. You will have to cross the road at the O'Connor Street Bridge. From that point on, the path is unbroken to John Northey Lookout. It is 3.89 km from the Alernative starting point to John Northey Lookout. At a walking pace of 4.7 km per hour, it will take 50 minutes to reach the Lookout.

At the Starting Point from the O'Connor Street Bridge, you will be walking parallel to Sweaney Street, then Captain Cook Drive, onto Campbell Park. From Campbell Park parallel to Campbell Street, Glen Innes Road / Gwydir Highway. Just prior to the Tingha Road Bridge the path splits and one path leads to Sinclair Park, the other path continues onto the Tingha Road Bridge. From the Tingha Road Bridge the path eventually leads to Clive Street where John Northey lookout is situated.
