    That view overlooking the winding waterways of Nambucca Heads? It’s been etched in my memory since my very first trip to Australia! I just knew it would be amazing to explore from the water, but somehow, it took another two visits to finally dip our paddles in. Our second attempt, years later during a Coffs…

    I’d never heard of Mount Kaputar National Park before, but it popped up on the map while I was searching for things to do near the Warrumbungles.

    Some of the best waterfalls near Sydney aren’t hidden deep in the mountains or miles away—they’re just south of the city in Royal National Park.

    To help distinguish the breathtaking sections of New South Wales’ incredibly long coastline (and to ensure you can never choose a favorite), each coastal region has its own name.

    Warrumbungle National Park is called one of Australia’s best kept secrets, a perfect place for hiking – day and night.
