Considered one of the best day walks in Australia. Beautiful secluded beaches and great lookouts along the coast. Keep your eyes peeled for whales during the season.
Walk from Beerburrum to the Returned Servicemans memorial Track to Trachyte Circuit to Tibrogargan Circuit to Steve Irwin Way
Kulki day-use area has a boardwalk leading from the picnic area to a viewing platform overlooking the ocean and beach. A short walk from the Kulki car park takes you to beautiful Myall Beach. Toilets and picnic tables are provided.
4 day trek to see the Southern Point, Lighthouse & Little Waterloo Bay
Nice easy walk. Stop and watch - plenty of great birds around.
This track is a beautiful but hard walk just out of Cape Tribulation township. The trail climbs from the coastal lowlands of Cape Tribulation, up the rainforest-clad ridge of Mount Sorrow to a viewing platform, offering views of the beautiful Daintree coastline, Cape Tribulation Beach, Snapper Island and beyond.
A beautiful lookout over the Barron Gorge national park down to the Cairns' bay.
A lovely little board walk with many information signs to a spectacular waterfall (especially in the wet season).
Mt Boogarem is located on the Koonyum Range and forms part of the Mt Jesusalem National Park. You can in fact drive to the lookout, but that would take the fun out of bushwalking! The walk is from the entrance to the National Park along graded tracks, with an option to follow a horse riding track or visit a further lookout called Teales.
This easy walk crosses Picnic Creek, passes through tall eucalypt forest and patches of wet sclerophyll (a mix of eucalypt and rainforest species). Enjoy views over the valley from a lookout point.
An alternative, more challenging route to the summit, located on the north-western ridge, accessible from the northern end of South Coolum Road.
This is a walk along the beach from the car park at Red Beach Bribie Island to the patrolled surf beach at Woorim. It's best to time your walk around low tide as at high tide the water comes right up to the trees in some places. Also, after significant rain there can be run-off from the island causing water courses that will need to be crossed - Not really a problem unless you don't want to get your feet wet. I've only marked the difficulty level as medium due to the un-certainty of the conditions, but generally it's a pretty easy walk if you stay on hard sand. If you're looking at a work-out, maybe walk on the soft sand and then the difficulty would definitely be harder. If you decide to do a return walk, you can pick up something to eat or drink at Woorim before heading back.
Tall Blue Gums, sandstone gullies, a waterfall and wildflowers. This walk follows Darling Mills Creek to the only waterfall in the Hills through some of the prettiest scenery in the Hills.
Fantastic little adventure to this secluded beach cave, only accessible at low tide
Oatley Park is a 112 acres reserve located on a promontory jutting into the Georges River in the southern Sydney suburb of Oatley. It is bounded by the Georges River, Lime Kiln Bay, and Jew Fish Bay. The park includes natural bushland, waterways, a children's playground, and an oval. It is noted for its trees, shrubs and native flowers, as well as the river beaches and prolific bird life.
An easy walk along Bowker Avenue and through a dry rainforest of Greybark, Palms, Blackbutt, Maulwood and Sallywood trees, before following the pathway above Pinetrees Paddock to the viewing platform and then drop down to Blinky Beach.
This is a steep and demanding climb to the summit of Intermediate Hill, with its spectacular views at 250m above sea level. The descent to Smoking Tree Ridge is equally steep and extra care should be taken on this section of the walk.
This track follows the beautiful coast line to Mutton Bird Point; a birdwatchers heaven, with its Masked Boobies, Sooty Terns, Common Nobbies and Wedgetailed Shearwaters (nesting in summer). From there you pass through Curly Palms, Blackbutts, Greybarks and Hopwoods to Rocky Run Creek and then wet rainforest to Boat Harbour beach.
This walk takes you to the top of Queen Mary Falls, which is part of the headwaters of one of Australia's longest river systems, the Murray–Darling. Great care should be taken when viewing the gorge below. Supervise children closely.
An interesting walk through the semi-tropical forest of the Whian Whian Conservation Area (Nightcap NP). Remnants of red cedar logging exist with the stumps showing the cut marks from the cutters planks, as well as an old cedar trunk bridge across one of the creeks.
Peates Mountain (once known as Peach Mountain) once had a fire lookout tower, that provided extensive views of the area from Lismore in the west to the eastern coast. Sadly this no longer exists and we are left with a ordinance obelisk.
