    Sydney has some world-famous national parks that visitors never miss and locals regularly flood on sunny weekends. Okay, don’t fret. To me, as a European, Australia never feels crowded. But some places are more popular than others. Garigal National Park is not one of them, and it’s not because it’s lacking in natural beauties. It’s…

    My favorite coastal hike in South Sydney is the incredibly varied Henry Head and Cape Banks loop walk. Tucked away in La Perouse, it’s a lesser-known gem in Kamay Botany Bay National Park (sorry, Cape Bailey, I still love you), offering a fantastic mix of scenery without the crowds. Just kidding. Australia isn’t crowded –…

    Mount Kaputar is one of the best national parks for the cooler months. Its walking tracks meander through an ancient landscape, dotted with volcanic rock formations, craggy peaks, and quiet valleys. And the wildlife? It’s everywhere—we bumped into red-necked wallabies and swamp wallabies, eastern grey kangaroos, spotted parrots and a solitary wallaroo. Now, where exactly…

    Hiking—or bushwalking, as Aussies call it—is probably not the first thing that comes to mind when you think of New South Wales (or Australia). Granted, there’s an embarrassingly large selection of fabulous beaches to steal your attention, but hiking opportunities shouldn’t be overlooked. They also give you a great excuse to venture beyond the coast…

    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. It’s not exactly a hotspot for tourists, which worked in our favor—five days of spring holiday hiking with barely a soul in sight. Bliss. The walking tracks here…

    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. Sure, the park is mostly famous for its 27 km Royal Coast Track, but let’s not overlook its lush rainforests and stunning waterfalls. That said, let me manage your expectations:…

    Warrumbungle National Park is called one of Australia’s best kept secrets, a perfect place for hiking – day and night. Because night skies are magical, and as Australia’s first Dark Sky Park the Warrumbungles are legendary for stargazing. But it also impresses with unique volcanic rock formations, majestic bushland and forested plains (a favorite habitat…

    In Australia a stunning beach with soft sand, rolling waves, and turquoise water is just the baseline. An outstanding beach has to offer something more, like a slice of desert tucked behind it. That’s exactly what makes Dark Point and Mungo Beach so captivating.  Dark Point is a rocky headland in Myall Lakes National Park,…
