Warrah Lookout

Patonga, New South Wales

Description

The iconic, jagged, sandstone cliffs of the southern Central Coast coastline are untouched in this area. Apart from the few early morning fishermen, it feels as if you are the only person on earth. No picture will ever do this landscape justice

Drink your morning coffee with incredible panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Hawkesbury River.

Drive to Patonga and from the end of the beach follow the trailhead signs to Pearl Beach. A steep incline for the first 10-15 minutes of the walk will get the legs burning. Once it starts to plateau out a little you'll be able to catch glimpses of the Hawkesbury River to your right.

You can veer off the path slightly and set up to watch the sunrise on many of the sandstone rock benches or continue around the path until you reach the Warrah Lookout.

Hike North Head Sanctuary

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. It's a great way to get outside the Sydney and escape for a few hours without a long commute. If you follow the paths around the area, the total walking from the wharf is around 13 kms, but it's as long as you make it! The eas...

Sydney Harbour Bridge to Balmoral - foreshore walk

Sydney Harbour is arguably one of the best harbours in the world. There is no better way to explore than on foot and no better walk to take than the foreshore route from Sydney Harbour to Balmoral Beach. Start at Milson's Point at the Harbour Bridge’s northern stairs at Burton Street. Walk downhill towards the Harbour, keeping the bridge on your right. You will arrive at Jeffrey Street Wharf wi...

Hike the Bondi to Coogee Beach Coastal Walk

The Basics: Australia's pristine beaches and coastlines are probably its main tourism attraction, and one of the most famous beaches is Bondi Beach in Sydney. It is only 45 minutes by train from Sydney Intl. Airport, or 2-3 train stops from Downtown Sydney. From Central Station, take the T4 line to Bondi Junction. Take bus 333, 380, or 381 down to Bondi Beach. However, with so many great beach...

Hike the Cape Baily Coast Walk

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 carpark, however if you're in Cronulla (as I was), you can walk the 5km along the beach to the other ...

Hike the Coast Track from Bundeena to Wattamolla

This hike is a part of the 26km Coast Track in Royal National Park. Please note that you must purchase a parking permit from one of the visitors centres. Another option is to make this hike into a point-to-point and leave the second car at the Wattamolla day area.You can also get to Bundeena from Cronulla by ferry, walking to the start of the hike as indicated by the trailhead (as I did), which...
