A walk down Kamarah Ridge

The stinking hot, humid weather in Sydney has finally stopped, and it’s time to get the boots out.

A Walk Down to the Wollangambe River

It’s a public holiday, and I’ve decided to do a walk somewhere in the Wollangambe Wilderness.

Breakfast Creek to Frying Pan Flat

I wanted to do a walk using Myles J. Dunphy, Gangerang Wild Dog Mountains sketch map. I found a campsite named Frying Pan Campground and Heeler Campground that seemed like a good candidates.

Walls of Jerusalem

While I was down in Tasmania, I really wanted to walk the Walls of Jerusalem track. It’s usually done as a multi-day hike but I really wanted to try and just walk the first section of the walk as a day hike.

Dharug National Park

The Old Great North Road

I had the itch to do an overnight hike and looked into walking to a campsite that I had previously camped at, Ten Mile Hollow in Dharug National Park.

Heathcote National Park

Bullawarring and Mooray tracks

I've been wanting to do a bushwalk in the Heathcote National Park for a while now. The Royal National Park just over the road gets all the attention. Today I planned to do the Bullawarring track, visit Yelgun cave and return via the Mooray track.

Dead Horse Gap walking track

I'm down at Thredbo for the Easter long weekend, and I decided to walk the Dead Horse Gap walking track.

Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park

The Basin campground

It's Autumn, and it's starting to cool down in Sydney. While the weather is still warm, I decided to walk down to The Basin campground in Ku-ring-gai chase national park and do some snorkelling. I've never been to the Basin, which is surprising. So today was a great opportunity to

Blue Mountains National Park

Lockleys Pylon & Du Faur Head

Having my morning coffee, I looked over a map of Blue Mountains bushwalks and saw the Lockleys Pylon walk. I was curious about this walk. Recently when I drove past its car park, it was pretty full. So, I figured I’d see what all the fuss was about. As

Mutawintji National Park

Mutawintji Gorge walking track

When I first arrived at Mutawintji National Park during my outback walking trip the very first walk I did was the Mutawintji Gorge walking track. When I got out of the car to start this walk, I stepped onto red dirt and realised how remote this location was. The walk

Blue Mountains National Park

Mt Hay, Hay Monolith & Butterbox point

So I planned to walk the Lion's Heads Ridge track. Unfortunately, the access road had been blocked for the ultra-100 ultra marathon when I arrived. Unfazed, I quickly looked for an alternative trail around the Grose valley. I found some tracks online near a mountain I spotted from the Mount

Mutawintji National Park

Western Ridge walking track

One of the walks from my outback New South Wales walking series is the Western Ridge Walking track in Mutawintji National Park. The ridge and walk are opposite the national park's only campsite. I had just finished the Bynguano Range walking track and stopped at camp for lunch before doing

Blue Mountains National Park

Exploring the Wollangambe Wilderness

During a recent trip to Wollangambe Crater, I saw a few potential areas I'd like to explore. This casual bushwalk would further explore those areas. The day was overcast, and there was a 70% chance of 2mm rain. I was willing to take the gamble. I had packed 2 litres

Mount Grenfell Historic Site

Ngiyampaa walking track

As a part of my outback New South Wales walking series, one of the walks I wanted to do was near Cobar. It is located within the Mount Grenfell Historic Site. And an hour's drive from Cobar. With some lovely sunny weather, I set off to do the Ngiyampaa Walking

Bynguano Range walking track

So I've wanted to do an outback hike for a while. I've had my eyes on the Larapinta trail for a while. Then I had a brainwave. Does NSW have any outback hikes? It turns out it does. Mutawintji National Park near Broken Hill can only be described as a

Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park

Waratah Walking Track

I had been planning this hike for a while. The track I've walked before. It's a pretty easy trail. However, what I was planning were the various things to visit while walking this track, like trig stations, Aboriginal engravings, and Rocky outcrops. With all the different locations marked on a

A Bushwalk in Marramarra National Park

I've wanted to do an off-trail bushwalk for a while now. With a good weather forecast for Saturday, I started planning my bushwalk. Using a few online mapping tools in 3D mode. I could gauge where I could potentially find a good lookout that would look out onto some water.

Culoul Range Trail to Colo Gorge

I've wanted to do a bushwalk along the Putty Road for a while and I found a trail that looked good. The trail I wanted to do was Coloul Range to Crawford's lookout. If you've read the title to this post, you've probably figured out that this didnt go as

Nichols Gorge & Clarke Gorge Walking Tracks

These two walks combined together are a great day out in the snowy mountains

Blue Mountains National Park

The Grand Canyon Track

I've wanted to walk the Grand Canyon track in the Blue Mountains for a few years now but have shied away from it as I was certain would be quite busy with travellers. With a free afternoon, I decided I'd finally do it. I brought along my nephew for the

Nattai National Park

Starlights Trail

I wanted to walk the Starlights Trail in Nattai National Park. It's December and it's hot at this time of year. I studied the walk and found there was a lovely river to swim and get water from near the two campsites. Getting water would not be an issue on
