A cliff top coastal walk, the Bondi to Coogee walk extends for six km in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. The walk features stunning views, beaches, parks, cliffs, bays and rock pools. The beaches and parks offer a place to rest, swim or a chance to eat at one of the cafes, hotels, restaurants or takeaways. All beaches offer picnic shelters, electric barbecues, play areas, kiosks, toilets and change-rooms. The walk is not difficult, there are medium gradient paths and several staircases with occasional seating. It takes about two hours to complete the Bondi to Coogee Beach section of the walk and another hour and a half if you choose to continue to Maroubra.See more..
The Journey... The Lighthouse Trail Byron Bay takes you on a hike through rainforest, beach, grassland and clifftops to the lighthouse. The Experience... En route you’ll wander through the shade of bangalow palms and ancient burrawangs, across kangaroo grasslands, along picturesque beaches and up to Cape Byron Lighthouse. Remember to keep an eye out on the water for turtles, dolphins, stingrays and, in season, whales. The Rewards... You’ll need a good two hours to properly experience the Cape Byron walking track – but it’s so rich in delights, so don’t be surprised if you reach the end and feel like doing it all again. In fact, it’s one of the most rewarding ways to spend a couple of hours on the state’s entire coast.See more..

4.5Coastal walk(1.387 reviews) - A Must Do if visiting Port Macquarie Hiking Trails
A spectacular walk along the picturesque coast. Some bush and some great coastline. Take a towel so you can have a dip at Flynns Beach. Improvements to the track were being made at the time of our visit so the trip will be even better hugging the coast instead of heading roadside for a km. A really enjoyable walk that I would grade as Easy/ModerateSee more..
We did not do as much research it seems and accidentally stumbled upon these stairways. It was actually pretty steep and some of the stairs are actually carved from the mountain itself. We saw some kids and even moms carrying their babies on the back, and a local told us that she could climb these stairways in 25 mins. It took us almost 1.5 hours as we were behind these moms carrying their babies and took our time. I wore sport shoes and actually almost slip 2-3 times (for reference I am in my early 30s and while I rarely hike or do much outdoor activities, I’m an active gym go-er). Would highly recommend if you have the time and if you are fit/enjoy difficult hikes.See more..
The Cronulla Beach Walk follows more than four kilometres of the Shire’s coastline south from Wanda Surf Lifesaving Club to Bass and Flinders Point, where the Hacking River meets the Tasman Sea. The pathway passes stunning beaches, child-friendly rock pools, parks, playgrounds, cafes and period houses interspersed with lavish new homes and apartments overlooking the water. In the morning you’ll see locals out for a run or walk with friends, and swimmers striking out to the yacht buoy or Shark Island. In summer, watch nippers and lifesavers train and enjoy a dip at one of the many beaches along the walk. Everyone is out, from new mums with prams, families and kids on scooters to the stalwarts of Cronulla on their way to the RSL for lunch or a game of bowls. The footsteps on this walk have echoed since the early 1900s when Cronulla Beach was the place for Sydneysiders to holiday, and it remains a popular and social walk.See more..
We strolled along this path from Leura to Echo Point and near Scenic World. It’s a long walk, but you can stop and start in many different places. Loads of beautiful lookouts with stunning views. See more..
5.0The National Pass(171 reviews) - Challenging in in places but well worth it Historic Walking Areas • Hiking Trails
We walked as a family of 2 adults and our kids age 16 and 14, setting off from the Wentworth Falls picnic area and completing the circular trail in a clockwise direction. The walk is challenging in places, so there is a level of fitness required in order to enjoy. 'Slack Stairs' wasn't as bad as it was made out to be I felt. The infrastructure was secure, though some of the paths along the bottom were a bit rough. We walked at a steady pace and thoroughly enjoyed the walk which took us 3 hours.See more..
4.5Kiama Coastal Walk(125 reviews) - Fantastic Walk, Stunning Views Spent More than 3 hours Hiking Trails
The Coastal walk from Kiama to Werri Beach is definitely a must do activity if you are in the area, there are some absolutely stunning views along the way. We began the walk at Werri Beach, the walk across the beach to the walking track was closed due the Lagoon being open to the sea, so we proceeded to walk along the sand closer to the ocean where we could walk around the mouth of the entrance to where the water from the lagoon goes out to sea, we then headed back to the walking track. The walk we completed was Werri Beach to Loves bay, which is 6 klm, there had been a lot of rain on the previous few days and parts of the walk were quite steep, slippery, and muddy, so you should be mindful of the footwear you have on, this section of the coastal walk is relatively untouched and can be quite challenging, however the views were just breathtaking, it is an incredible walk, it will live long in the memory.See more..
5.0Grand Canyon track(112 reviews) - What an experience, amazing Spent More than 3 hours Hiking Trails
We trekked this canyon with a guide, Jeff, from Tread Lightly Eco Tours and it was amazing. It took approximately 4.0 to 4.5 hours and we both descending and ascending the slot canyon during the hike. The Grand Canyon track itself is approximately 6.0km in distance and includes roughly 1000 steps. During this trek, we experienced spectacular views across the mountains, incredible rock formations, interesting vegetation and waterfalls. The most difficult part was the climb out of the canyon as it seemed to take forever and was pretty relentless. Well worth the hike and one which I would certainly recommend provided you don’t have any mobility issues. Amazing.See more..
4.5White Sands Walk(57 reviews) - A beautiful and easy walk for any age Hiking Trails
This is a beautiful walk that gives you a taste of the magic of Jervis Bay. You pass through bush land, around coastal headland, and along white sandy beaches. Takes about an hour ambling slowly with children. Plenty of places to stop and rest for toddlers. You finish up at the Hyams Beach Cafe which is a great pit stop for a cool drink or yummy lunch before you head back. Walk can be extended at either end to make it longer by adding Plantation Point at Vincentia end or Hyams Beach walk at other end. A fab idea for a windy or cold day if you’re in Jervis Bay with kids See more..

4.5Convict Trail(52 reviews) - Convict Trail from Devine's Hill gate Spent More than 3 hours Hiking Trails
Midday, midweek, mid February we only saw one family of three on our walk from the Devine's Hill gate on the convict trail up to the start of the Shepherds Gully Circuit and back down to the gate. We, active 60+ couple, took 50 minutes on the way up including stopping at 13 information points, admiring the view and taking a few photos. The trail is unsealed and relatively easy on a dry day but not wheelchair or pram friendly. At the top is a good NPWS map with details of walks in the area. The downhill walk to the carpark was 25 minutes for us. The carpark probably wouldn't hold more than 3 or 4 cars.See more..
4.5Solitary Islands Coastal Walk(45 reviews) - Look At Me Now Headland: Wild Kangaroos!!! Monday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent More than 3 hours Beaches • Hiking Trails
There doesn´t seem to be a listing in Tripadvisor for Look At Me Now Headland, which is ridiculous since it´s one of the best experiences you can access in East Australia. It´s a short walk (700m) to a headland where you have a surfing beach to your right where you can take amazing pictures of surfers and a green pasture to your left where wild kangaroos are just lounging around and you can spend some time with them taking pictures and taking care not to disturb them. It´s a magical experience. Don´t miss it. It was one of the highlights of our 3 week holiday through Eastern Australia (from Sydney to Cape Tribulation).See more..
We hiked mount warning yesterday around 9am. The weather was perfect. Its a 5km uphill hike. But the last 400m is a scramble that requires upper body strength. Where you use a chain to climb a steep rock face. Once you get there the view is phenomenal. We spent a good 40mins up to for our break and got some awesome photos. Coming down was good. Because everything was down hill. But still need to watch where you walk. Because we came across to 8snakes, one of them was a black belly snake. In the end other ticket done on my bucket list. Recommend before you hike do lots of stretching. Whole body because your legs will be sore. Take a camel pack if you got one if not take a backpack with some hydralyte and lots of water and some snack. The walk takes about 2hrs going up and id say 1hr and half going down depends on your stop. Wear a hiking shoe or joggers with grips.also where a hat remember to take a small first aid kit and slip slop slapSee more..

4.5Yindyamarra Sculpture Walk(34 reviews) - Nature and Art Lovers River Walk in middle of town! Hiking Trails • Scenic Walking Areas
You understand that the Murray River is one of nature's real work of art on this work which is along the river (obviously) and as long or short as you want (several hours if needed). The sculptures are really interesting and the riverbank and wetlands bush are absolutely gorgeous. There is a cafe somewhere in the town end, but I couldn't find it. See more..
5.0Murray River Trail(27 reviews) - Good walking trail Spent More than 3 hours Biking Trails • Hiking Trails • Jogging Paths & Tracks

A lovely walking trail around the outskirts of Hay. Some parts of the track have been eroded by the recent floods but its even more interesting because you can clearly see where the floodwaters came up to. Some lovely sculptural art works along the trail representing parts of Hay history.See more..
We love walking along Culburra beach. It is uncrowded and beautiful. One morning we saw a pod of dolphins. Our dog loves the freedom of being off the lead after 4pm until 8am. She meets lots of dogs and this is her favourite place in the worldSee more..
This track, a short walk from Springwood station is very busy, far more so than those on the southern side of the station. It’s also easier and more accessible than other walks near Springwood but you still need to take care of the occasionally uneven ground and steps. The vegetation varies from dry to wet forest.

4.5Evans Crown(21 reviews) - Definately a must do Hiking Trails
If you have a couple of hours free then this is worth the effort. A short half hour walk up the side of the crown (not overly strenuous) then you can wander along the top exploring as you go. Its an amazing part of the world - this granite outcrop rising out of the farmlands - the view from the top if excellent and worth the hike. Thoroughly recommendedSee more..
4.5Broulee Island Walk(21 reviews) - must do if you're in the area Spent 1-2 hours Beaches • Hiking Trails
This is such a beautiful place, with an amazing array of different landscapes. The walk is easy, it took me 2hrs, so it'd take a fit person 60-90mins. Use the satellite view of google maps as your guide (not the standard view, which tells you you have to walk through the ocean!), but don't worry if you can't follow it, there are a fair few people around (even on a weekday in winter) so someone should be able to help you if you're lost.See more..
4.5Nyambagga Walking Trail(21 reviews) - The Jewel of Nambucca Heads Spent 1-2 hours Hiking Trails
The Nyambagga Walking Trail is an interpretive track showcasing the intrinsic bio-cultural value of the area, encompassing the land and the sea. The Nambucca (Nyambaga) area is home to the Baga-Baga Clan (Ocean People) of the Southern Gumbaynggirr Language group. The ocean is their totem, it heals them and provides food, and their dreaming stories are connected to the ocean. The Baga Baga Clan invite you on to Jagun (home country) and trust you will respect MI mi wajaarr (Mother Earth) and look after ngarraambay-ngarraambay (the environment). Along the trail you will find information introducing you to the features of this important area; these include plants, mammals, reptiles, birds, insects and marine crested.See more..
4.5Ferntree Gully(19 reviews) - A totally enjoyable walk Spent More than 3 hours Canyons • Hiking Trails • Geologic Formations
The two of us chose to do the top walk - the loop. From there we could look down into the gorge and see the wonderful rock formations resembling the Bungle Bungles. I took my Nordic poles which was probably a good idea. There are plenty of steps but otherwise it was an easy walk.See more..
We visited a week after a lot of rain. The fords were safe to cross (in case you don’t know - fords are river crossings where you drive through the water - you need to know what you are doing and have a car with good clearance), but still had enough water for the kids to find the drive exciting. The Gloucester Falls were flowing well and made the walk well worth it. The toilets well clean as well and the Gloucester Tops picnic areas are well maintained. Tip: Please do not stop your car near the fords and get out, like a group of families we saw. You create danger for the other travellers and your own family. Cars crossing fords cannot stop.See more..
4.5Eye of the Needle Walk(18 reviews) - loved it - a must do hike! Spent 1-2 hours Lookouts • Hiking Trails
I found Paradise Park a little hard to find so let me give you good directions (if you need them). My GPS didn't find Paradise Park but it did find the Murrurundi Golf Club. Put that in and you will note there is some signage on the way, however it all of a sudden stops. Against all instinct carry on on the road you are on - it looks like you are headed out of town towards farm land.....keep driving and you will go through some bends of the road, then out of nowhere the cute Golf Club clubhouse will appear on your right. Keep going past this, and drive and you will soon find one park area and then another. Stop at the second park area - this is the base of the walk. I found this a short hike, not too demanding however I hike frequently. Once at the top I turned left and walked the 300 metres to the lookout. It was a beautiful view. I would love to hike this each season to see the difference in the landscape. Enjoy. :)See more..
Just a wonderful sculpture installation in this beautiful gorge. The sculpture s were so interesting and all different with the different use of mediums. The information boards are definitely worth a read as well. The wet weather had taken out part of the track but by a bit of creek jumping you were able to complete the circuit. Nice picnic as well as camping area as well.See more..
My Wilson, with its willows and ferns , is a hidden hideaway from the world. It's charm is not just its array of old grand sprawling houses, but moreover it is Ferny dells and woodlands , which to stroll in on a winters afternoon is to be accompanied by the haunting chimes of its resident Bell birds .. And if very lucky .. To spy upon a Lyre Bird, as it forages amoungst the red and gold leaf litter which carpets the paths! A Blue Mountains village which never fails to delight!See more..

A bit of a hill to start but a realatively easy walk. Lots of kangaroos near the top on the grassy areas. This is a beautiful walk.See more..

This is a very rare attraction as you are almost guaranteed to see families of kangaroos in a beautiful and natural wilderness on the John Cousins and Kangaroo Walking tracks.

4.5Wagirra Trail(10 reviews) - A great way to exercise in what is an absolute jewel in the regional crown for the district of Albury. Biking Trails • Hiking Trails
What a fantastic walk and terrific destinations. A real jewel in the regional crown for the district of Albury. Walk from the Monument or the Botanic Gardens along the trail , beside the Might Murray River and past the 'Bat Viewing Area' (you can't miss them as they are very noisy!), for 30 mins and you reach the Kremur St Boat ramp (has toilets) then another 30 mins along the beautiful trail to Horseshoe Lagoon. Another 30 mins and you are at the Wonga Wetlands (has toilets). It is possible to park and join the trail at each of those points. The path is wide and amazingly popular.See more..
5.0Turon National Park(8 reviews) - Beautiful Turon River National Parks • Nature & Wildlife Areas • Hiking Trails
We have a landcruiser vehicle and were towing an offroad camper. The road into the national park is 4X4, very steep but when dry was quite an easy drive down into the beautiful valley below. We drove up and over a mountain to the beautiful Woolshed Flats, a lovely grassy area beside the river with lots of kangaroos grazing in the shade of the trees. We then decided to go upstream to the camping ground. You have to negotiate several creek crossings in order to get there. There is a bush toilet and lots of nice camping spots along the river bank. We wanted to stay the night but in the end decided to leave as the sky was overcast and it looked as if it would rain. One thing we didn't want was to be possibly caught by the river rising and the other was it may have been very difficult to get back up the steep hill towing a trailer in the wet. Definitely would love to camp there as it is so secluded, with so few visitors but would want to make sure that it wouldn't rain.See more..
We spent a couple of hours exploring the Treasure Hunt Loop. It is a Grade 3 walk but if you take your time is fine for "Oldies" like us. AS you walk up the hill there is so much to see. Just loved the Bird Nest ferns and Orchids in the trees . There are lots of story boards explaining the history of the area. I really pity the gold miners as they were stuck if it rained too much as they couldn't mine the ore. In times of drought there wasn't enough water to run the Stamper. There is a huge boiler in the bush and you go past a mine shaft which has a cover over it these days. What I loved the best was the huge Strangler Fig which was covered in Orchids and must have been very old. There were still quite a few old growth Cedar trees which was how the place was originally discovered by the Saxby Brothers.See more..
4.5Basket Swamp National Park(8 reviews) - Pleasant and peaceful Spent 2-3 hours National Parks • Hiking Trails
While the dirt road most of the way is suitable for 2WD, would suggest if you don't have the clearance of an AWD or 4WD to not attempt the last 400m down to carpark, park off road in one of several small cuttings. We had a reasonable amount of water flowing even after several dry months in the area but expect something spectacular after heavy rains. Midweek we were the only people there so very peaceful. Minimal walking distance to falls and also a steep fire track downhill for around 300m for different perspective. No facilities at carpark.See more..
Deniliquin and district is now officially on flood watch, with the Edward River just 3cm below minor flood level on 30 August 2022. Rising river levels have already closed section of the Beach to Beach Walk, inundated both McLean and Willoughby’s Beach, and closed the public boat ramps. And here I was... in September visiting only to find the water levels were still high and you could not do the beach to beach walk. I could most certainly do parts of it and it was so pretty... I saw parrots and other birdlife. There were river boats and it was very peaceful. This is such a pretty place to walk... well worth taking a stroll along.See more..
4.5Dooragan National Park(7 reviews) - Great walk up the hill National Parks • Nature & Wildlife Areas • Hiking Trails
Leave the car behind and walk up the hill on the track through the beautiful bush. Then you will appreciate the great view all the more. Well maintained national park facilities at the top; information board, many picnic spots and clean toilets, with more toilet rolls than our local supermarket during the initial Covid outbreak. As the track is steep, we chose to return via the road, which makes for a long walk back to town.See more..

4.0Clyde River National Park(7 reviews) - We love the Clyde River! National Parks • Nature & Wildlife Areas • Hiking Trails
We had heard the best way to experience the Clyde River National Park was to go for a kayak or canoe, so we hired some and had the best day out on the water! Saw lots of birds (pelicans, lyrebirds, swans) and fish, plus some kangaroos lazing on a bank! Top day out and you get to see Australian nature from a different perspective. We hired ours from the Nelligen Kayak Hire and the service was excellent. See more..
5.0Kattang Nature Reserve(6 reviews) - Easy 3-4 kms return walk to Perpendicular Point Monday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM National Parks • Hiking Trails • Geologic Formations
I would definitely recommend this varied walk through different varieties of vegetation with views that are spectacular at the end . There are also some good views along the way of the coastline (see my picture). It is not a difficult walk - we did it in 1 hour return. you would want to pick a clear day as the views will not be rewarding on a day with low clouds or drizzle.See more..
Waa Gorge is an absolutely beautiful natural gorge at the northern-most point of Mt Kaputar national park. Take the Warialda Rd from Moree, then take the Terry Hie Hie turnoff and follow the signs to Waa Gorge. The route needs a 4WD, and goes through a number of paddocks, so make sure you open and close the gates. Once you arrive at the carpark, it's a 10 minute easy walk to the beautiful mil-bullah waterholes. To your left is a rough track up the hill -- follow this, then walk upstream along the creek until you reach the gorge (about 20 minutes total). The gorge is stunning and a great place for a swim or a picnic.See more..

3.5Kellys Falls Track(6 reviews) - Nice falls, for drivers Spent 1-2 hours Hiking Trails
I was trying to walk through this area, which is difficult because of the horrid roads and drivers, so I turned up the road to Kellys Falls. From the car park, it's a short walk to the top of the falls (which were pretty heavy after the last few months' rain) and some good views. Very nice and serene even though it's not far off the main road. I could see an inviting pool at the bottom with a couple of people next to it but I don't think the Kellys Falls Track goes there. I went down the Princess Marina Track, which was nice and rough, and I think I heard some people working their way down the rocks toward the pool.See more..

5.0Bungonia National Park(5 reviews) - Bungonia Gorge Trail, Mass Cave and Grill Cave! National Parks • Nature & Wildlife Areas • Hiking Trails
We did the Bungonia Gorge Trail and stopped over to Mass and Grill Cave! This hike in our opinion almost on par with Carnarvon Gorge in central QLD. Although beautiful and picturesque this hike is not suitable for the faint of heart. Please only attempt the caves if you have appropriate equipments such a head torch etc. This is a GRADE 5 track that has a very long, steep and slippery slope going into and out of the gorge and the centre is unmarked trail that requires you to scale over, under and between bus size boulders. Please do not attempt this hike unless you are an experienced hiker and do your research first.
