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

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

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
