Name	Date	Difficulty	Distance/Duration
Griffiths Loop (Barren Grounds Nature Reserve)	31 Oct, 2015	Medium	8km return 4 hrs
Basic walk, lots of wildflowers and different types of birds. The Stone Bridge is a nice place to cool off.
Illawarra Lookout (Barren Grounds Nature Reserve)	31 Oct, 2015	Easy	1km return 1 hr
An amazing lookout. Only a short distance from the picnic grounds.
Kangaroo Ridge (Barren Grounds Nature Reserve)	31 Oct, 2015	Medium	19km return 6 hrs
Nice walk to visit in Spring, lots of wildflowers. Check out Illawarra Lookout at the beginning. There is also a slightly hidden lookout at the end (you will see an opening in the bush just past the end of the walk sign).
Patonga to Wondabyne Station via Mt Wondabyne (GNW) (New South Wales)	17 Oct, 2015	Hard	19.5km one-way 7.5 hrs
Great views and rock shelves. The swimming hole and waterfall towards the end is a good place to cool off. Past the waterfall the ascent seems to just keep going! I recommend doing this walk on a day that's not too hot. Wondabyne Train has a beautiful setting.
Mee-bor-rum Circuit (Moogerah Peaks National Park)	11 Oct, 2015	Easy	840m return 20 mins
Very easy walk, it's a bit hard to see the view due to the high trees. Suprising how the bush turns into heathland so quickly.
Wentworth Pass (Blue Mountains National Park)	4 Oct, 2015	Hard	7km return 4 hrs
A beautiful and challenging walk with many waterfalls to see. Slacks Stairs (ladders) was a little scary but well worth it. Highly recommend a day or two after rain.
Valley of the Waters (Blue Mountains National Park)	4 Oct, 2015	Hard	1.5km return 90 mins
I think this is the most waterfall dense bushwalk I've been on. Simply amazing. Try to go a couple of days after the rain.
Purling Brook Falls Circuit (Springbrook National Park)	26 Sep, 2015	Medium	4km return 2 hrs
A popular walk. It's a shame that you cannot walk behind the waterfall anymore but at least with the new bridge you can complete the circuit.
Galston Gorge to Mt Kuringgai (GNW) (New South Wales)	19 Sep, 2015	Hard	12.6km one-way 5.5 hrs
Calna Bridge is fixed! Good walk to do just after the rain. If you are up for it I recommend starting the walk from Hornsby. If you do this way you can park at Rosemead Rd, at Ku-ring-gai get the train back to Hornsby, then get a taxi back to your car (there's a taxi rank right outside the station).
Hornsby to Galston Gorge (GNW) (New South Wales)	19 Sep, 2015	Hard	8.2km one-way 3.5 hrs
Good walk to do just after the rain. It's a bit hilly. If you are up for it I recommend continuing the walk through to Ku-ring-gai Station. If you do this you can park at Rosemead Rd, at Ku-ring-gai get the train back to Hornsby, then get a taxi back to your car (there's a taxi rank right outside the station).
Lloyd Trig (New South Wales)	13 Sep, 2015	Medium	4km return 2 hrs
Pleasant walk. Don't forget to go up once you reach the rock shelf (it's not clearly signed, except for a couple of red flags along the way). Great views at the top.
Bird Gully Swamp (New South Wales)	13 Sep, 2015	Medium	3.5km return 3 hrs
Great walk. The walk guides were so friendly and knowledgeable. So many different plants and things to see here. I highly recommend booking more than a month in advance as this is the only walk that requires a guide. The guide will only take a maximum of 20 people per day so the tickets sell out fast.
Egernia Circuit (D'Aguilar National Park)	6 Sep, 2015	Easy	1.5km return 30 mins
Very easy walk. Not much to see but lots of nice bush smells and birds calling.
Pitta Circuit (Brisbane Forest park D'Aguilar National Park)	6 Sep, 2015	Easy	1km return 30 mins
A pleasant walk through the rainforest. Easy enough for families with small kids. The informational signs throughout the walk are great. The sign in the picnic area states this walk is the Rainforest Circuit (2km), this is not correct. The track is definitely the Pitta Circuit (1km return).
Peats Bight (New South Wales)	29 Aug, 2015	Hard	10km return 4 hrs
An amazing walk, the walk goes through many different environments. The view of the Hawkesbury River at the end was simply amazing. All the wildflowers were out. Highly recommend doing this one. I took the guided tour, it was very informative but took the option to ditch them on the way back (they were a bit slow).
Deerubbin Lookover (New South Wales)	29 Aug, 2015	Hard	6km return 2.5 hrs
Great walk with an amazing lookout at the end. Highly recommend doing this one. Be careful at the lookout as there are no railings, it's a long way down.
JD Tipper Loop (New South Wales)	29 Aug, 2015	Very Easy	500m return 30 mins
Very easy walk with great views of Brooklyn.
Point Loop (New South Wales)	29 Aug, 2015	Easy	2km return 1 hr
Flat track. Great lookout.
Anvil Rock (Blue Mountains National Park)	22 Aug, 2015	Easy	500m return 15 mins
An easy short walk. Great views from the rock.
Kondalilla Falls Circuit (Kondalilla National Park)	16 Aug, 2015	Medium	4.7km 2 hrs
Easy sealed walk. Nice waterhole at the end. The section leading to the waterfall lookout is currently closed due to rock slide (people are still going through though). This is a very popular walk. The carpark was full.
