👍👍 Great coastal walk with an amazing view. The beach, waves and smell of the ocean what a great track!! Took around 30 - 1hour long one way. Highly recommend parking at Pioneers Park and walking down. Dont forget to apply sunscreen and wear a hat as there's not much shade

👍👍 Was told to park on some residential street in the blue mountains and to walk down this sketchy rocky stepped alleyway past what looks like an amphitheatre. I proceed past this only to be overwhelmed by an absolute beautiful vista of Australian trees and rocky formations. I said oh wow a number of t...

As well as cool gullies and ferns there is plenty of birdlife in the forest. Cumberland State Forest is the only urban forest in Australia. Adventure- Tree top adventure, I...

👍👍 Great place for a picnic or just a stroll along the river bank. Maybe even cast in a line and try your luck at catching some fish. Toilets, running water and plenty of parking too.

👍👍 One of the most spectacular walks in Sydney - a must for any visitor. A bush trail that snakes along the harbour coastline revealing hidden coves and beaches such as MIlk Beach and Queens Beach. Heading east, the trail effectively ends at Nielsen Park, a spot which could make a compelling case as th...

👍👍 Very nice place - a must visit, let me break down the review into key parts. Parking: Initially my concern was parking but there are a lot of parking places within the park, some of them are 3 hours only so be careful if you plan to spend more time there. Train: its a 2 min walk from Rhodes statio...

👍 Such a peaceful spot to have a quiet family bbq next to Hawkesbury river. You can spot so many wallabies and kangaroos up close. The sheds are by the river with toilets in easy access. You can go fishing in the river too. It was very quiet with a few families in the shed.

👍👍 I totally fell in love with this place. The coast is so beautiful and wild. All these cliffs with the big waves. Really impressive. There is a golf club really close by where you can see people play with a nice view. It was not really busy. We saw some people like us walking around. We just walked i...
