enjoy the majestic views of the clear blue sea in the peaceful waters, the
boats and the white sand.
The Coast Track -
Wattamolla
The Coast Track is quite a popular walk located in the
Royal National Park south of Sydney. This walk typically takes two days to
complete but if you’re here for a day trip you can simply enjoy the cliffs and
beaches along the way and then loop your way back before night falls.
A popular stop nearby is Wattamolla
Beach, where you can picnic and swim, with access to public facilities.
Uloola Track via
Karloo Pools - Heathcote
The walk along the fire trail from
Heathcote to Waterfall known as the Uloola Track can be tiring, but in the
middle of this walk is Karloo Pools, which makes for a great swim in the summer
time.
Imagine walking in the desert and
finally reaching an oasis and enjoying a quick swim. That’s the joy you’d feel.
Under and Over Cliff
Walk - Wentworth Falls
Wentworth Falls? Waterfalls? Yes, and
there are plenty here.
There are many tracks to choose from in
the Wentworth Falls area, but this one provides a loop around most of the
terrain and passes the main waterfall sites along the way. Enjoy the cool
refreshing flows of water as you make your way up and around the rocky terrain.
Echo Point to Leura
Forest via Three Sisters and Giant Stairs loop – Katoomba
Hidden in plain sight from the tourists
at Echo Point where the lookout for Three Sisters are located. There are
walking tracks that go down from Echo Point, leading to the undergrowth of
Leura Forest which packs a beautiful green hue embraced by the moss covered
landscape. As this is a looping track, be prepared to walk all the way up the
Giant Stairs!

Walk - Watsons Bay
The FederationCliff Walk is a 5km walk along the sandstone cliff-top from Dover Heights to
Watsons Bay, located north-east of Sydney.

Macquarie Lighthouse, The Gap and the 80m sandstone cliffs.
Venture through the parklands along the
sides of the cliffs as you enjoy the mesmerizing view of the Pacific Ocean and
the harbour
