Australia's Giant's Causeway is full of amazing views, great star gazing and beautiful sunrises.

Just an hour and a half drive from brisbane you will find the little town of Fingal Heads. Park at the end of the Lighthouse Parade Rd and follow the Fingal Lighthouse Track out towards the water and explore from there.Some of the most beautiful beaches Australia has to offer are just along here, in particular this little headland has an area known to locals as Giants Causeway.

The fishing off these rocks is supposed to be second to none, but there is no easy way to get across there. Time the waves perfectly and run across slippery rocks before the next monster wave comes in and you will be rewarded with plentiful marine life. Make a false move or misstep and you'll be in the ocean before you know it. This spot offers such a beautiful view of sunrise and is favoured by photographers.

Giant's Causeway

03/30/16

I've been to the famous Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, and I wasn't sure what to expect when we found the one in Northern Australia. However, I am so thankful I found this adventure on the OutBound. We went around 10 in the morning, and it was very lovely. Hardly any people, so we got to enjoy the rocks, waves, birds, and all the melodious sounds to ourselves. We even got to see a pod of dolphins swim by!

Hike to the Mount Warning Summit

Standing at 3,793 feet tall, Mount Warning in New South Wales, Australia is the first peak to see the sunrise in all of Australia every morning. Though you can hike the mountain at any time of the day, most people arrive in the middle of the night in order to hike it in time for the sunrise.The mountain is located in between Gold Coast and Byron Bay, 10 minutes from Murwillumbah and just 4 kms ...

Hike Lamington National Park's Coomera River Track

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 walks in this park, once you get past the main junction thats where the real fun begins. The climat...

Hike Minyon Falls Loop

Located within Nightcap National Park, Minyon Falls is approximately 30 minutes South-West of the sleepy, hippie town of Mullumbimby. Mullum has an eclectic market on the third Saturday of the month from 9am-2pm with which you could synch your hike.Minyon Falls itself flows over a 100m cliff before crashing into a palm-fringed swimming hole below. The best way to see the falls from all angles i...

Explore Cape Byron

Cape Byron is Australia's most easterly point and next to one of Australia's most vibrant surf towns, Byron Bay. This adventure is a no brainer if you are are in Byron Bay. Try to go there during sunset or sunrise for the ultimate views, I'd recommend checking it out during sunrise as it gets really crowded for sunset.To get there, follow Lawson St. which is one of the main streets in Byron B...

Broken Head Beach

Go straight on broken head road, you will find it there. You first drive up to whites beach, and you will see this very sketchy road, take it, its very narrow just an FYI. There you will drive for about 15-20 minutes. You will see a couple of cars parked on the side of the road along the way, go until you see the third car park. There's a sign that will let you know that you are there, and the...

Explore Killen Falls

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.The track to the top of the falls is well maintained and leads to a T-junction. To the left is a...
