Very easy walk. Do this one after the rain. | ||||
Cahill Walk (Harbour Bridge Walk) (Greater Sydney) |
18 Jan, 2015 |
Easy |
2.5km one-way 45 mins |

Good walk for the afternoon. I recommend once crossing the bridge do a detour to Observatory Park by walking down the stairs and through tunnel. Awesome views of the harbour. | ||||
Waterfall to Heathcote (New South Wales) |
17 Jan, 2015 |
Hard |
11km one-way 4 hrs |

Very poor signage, got lost once. Most junctions are not signed. You can follow the yellow arrows for the first part of the walk up to Kingfisher Pool. Most of the track is very overgrown, expect scratches if you don't wear long sleeve shirt and pants. There is also not much to see. I'd give this one a miss. | ||||
Newcastle Foreshore to Nobbys Head (New South Wales) |
10 Jan, 2015 |
Very Easy |
8km return 2 hrs |
|
Nice breezes, beaches and lighthouse. A good way to spend an afternoon. | ||||
Merewether to Queens Wharf (GNW) (New South Wales) |
10 Jan, 2015 |
Easy |
4.4km one-way 90 mins |
|
A nice, easy and short section of the Great North Walk. It was great that this section was sufficiently signed (unlike most other sections). | ||||
Araucaria Falls (Main Range National Park) |
4 Jan, 2015 |
Medium |
3.6km return 90 mins |
|
Walk was great, once you reach the top of the falls make sure you keep going otherwise you'll miss the rest of the walk and the view from the bottom (which is great). The ground was quite slippery after the rain, be careful as mud and down hill slops are not always a good combination. Attempted to go here a week before but the river crossings were too overflown for a conventional car to pass (unless you have a 4WD don't drive all the way out here during wet weather). If you are heading out this way I recommend combining this walk with the Mt Castle and Sylvesters lookouts very close to this walk. |

Amazing view of the waterfall. The 2nd lookout (at the end) of the valley was breathtaking. | ||||
Governors Chair Lookout (Main Range National Park) |

Don't do this walk on a rainy day, all I could see was white (clouds). | ||||
Moss's Well (Main Range National Park) |
28 Dec, 2014 |
Easy |
120m return 10 mins |
|
A stagnant waterhole surrounded by mosquitoes, I'm sure it would have been much more important back in the day. | ||||
Rainforest Circuit (Main Range National Park) |
28 Dec, 2014 |
Easy |
1.6km return 25 mins |

Enjoyable walk, looks very magical during the rainy weather (very misty). Watch out for leeches though, managed to have several land on me but was lucky to not have any attach. | ||||
Lota Creek Circuit (Brisbane City Council Local Walks) |

Heaton Gap to Teralba Station (GNW) (New South Wales) |
20 Dec, 2014 |
Hard |
15km one-way 6 hrs |
|
Unless you are doing the Great North Walk I would skip this one. Too many junctions without GNW signage. The last third of the walk is spent walking along the roadside. Also note the time for this walk is very overestimated. I went the wrong way for 2km (due to the signage) and still completed it within 4 hours. | ||||
Mount Coolum (Sunshine Coast) |
15 Dec, 2014 |
Medium |
2.6km return 90 mins |

Great views from the top. It's not too steep. The signage says 2 hours return but this walk can be easily be completed in 1 hour walking a slow pace. | ||||

Sublime Point Lookout (New South Wales) |
30 Nov, 2014 |
Easy |
400m return 15 mins |

Flat, easy and short. Amazing views. Would be a nice place for a sunrise or sunset. Must be a good place for rock climbing as there were a few climbers getting prepared in the car park. | ||||
Pulpit Rock Lookout Walk (Blue Mountains National Park) |
29 Nov, 2014 |
Medium |
800m return 30 mins |
|
One of the best lookouts in the Blue Mountains. A good place for a photo op. If you're not afraid of heights taking the walk down the ladder to the viewing platform is a must. | ||||
Evans Lookout (Blue Mountains National Park) |

Another great Blue Mountains lookout. |
