The walk to Kosciuszko's Summit is easily one of the most scenic walks Australia has to offer. Australia's 'Snowy' Mountain range is enveloped in deep snow through Winter, so Spring, Summer and Autumn are the best times to hike this track - although a weather check doesn't go astray in the cooler mo...

An incredible lookout over Lithgow valley from 1160m elevation. Perfect for viewing the sunrise or sunset over the mountains. A short drive up an unpaved road takes you right to the lookout with a car park onsite, plus spot for disabled parking. Two picnic sheds with 4 tables each.

Aim to reach the carpark of the national park just after sunrise as this hike will take you a full day well If you're anything like me and stop to take photos every 30 steps it definitely will! The walk starts off on clearly visible paths that are well worn from the many people who do the half day w...

The trailhead is located about 30 minutes outside of Sydney, NSW in the Royal National Park. Finding the trailhead was a bit difficult as Google Maps had taken us (as well as others we met along the way) to a different trail head in the park. So make sure you know where the trailhead is before you d...

In the rolling green hills 35 minutes southwest of Byron Bay is the sleepy town of Tintenbar, home to Killen Falls. At the end of Killen Falls Drive is a carpark and a walking track that leads past Emigrant Creek Dam to the base of a beautiful waterfall and a partial cave just waiting to be explored...

Starting at sea level, the hike begins as a gentle stroll along the coast. However, don't get lulled into a false sense of security, this hike gets tough very quickly. Climbing up around 50-60 metres from sea level, it's time to strap on a helmet and use the ropes that are fixed to the sheer cliff f...

Since there are many different walkways, I have put together several different ways to get to North Head, though there are many different places to explore along the way.

Hopetoun Falls has around 200 stairs descending into the lush rainforest to reach Hopetoun Falls, it may seem like a daunting idea and one that could also be rough on the old’ knees. It is worth the struggle though just so you can witness this 30 metre fall of ice-cold water into the Aire River. Don...

Located within Nightcap National Park, Minyon Falls is approximately 30 minutes South-West of the sleepy, hippie town of Mullumbimby.

This is a great hike if you enjoy heights and looking out on the ocean, as most of the hike takes you along white rocky cliffs on the edge of the park. Given the majority of the walk is exposed, please make sure to bring sun protection and lots of water. I've started the walk at the Cape Solander ca...
