Scenic spot

👍👍 I just love this lookout. Probably one of the best views in Sydney. The tracks are very new and modern. It’s a pleasure to walk there. I could stay all the day. Amazing to see the skyline and the Harbour bridge.

Elysian Rock Lookout

Scenic spot

👍👍 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...

Scenic spot

👍👍 One of the Best views of the Sydney city skyline, opera house, Luna park and the famous harbour bridge that you'll find, there is a ferry station nearby and is just one of many spots you can fish off, there's decent parking if you can get it but it's metered and it's not a bad place for a walk or ex...

Eagle Hawk Lookout

Scenic spot

👍 Great view of the Three Sisters. Go in the early morning for the low cloud and fog, or the evening for the golden light on the famous formation. There's no parking. A small dirt alcove just after the lookout on the right (if coming from the direction of Scenic World). There's parking a 5 minute wal...

Middle Head – Gubbuh Gubbuh

Minnehaha Falls

Scenic spot

👍👍 First of all the address shows the wrong place. You should follow the minni ha ha road and end of the road you will see the sign of the fall. The view and fall is amazing. We went there in the mid of summer and the water was freezing. To be able to reach to the fall you should walk around 1,5 km pat...

Junction Falls

Scenic spot

👍👍 Went after a week of heavy rainfall on a bit of a drizzly day. It was lovely and lush - perfect day to catch the waterfalls in full swing! The walk was a relatively easy circuit walk. Stopping at each waterfall and a longer pittstop at Federal falls, it took us about 2 hours in total. Dogs are allo...

SS Ayrfield

Historical landmark

👍👍 I’ve known about this place for some time and only recently got round to taking some photos before going to the archery range next door and wish I’d visited earlier! The bay itself is worth a visit if you’re in the area as there’s the main lookout with a couple of wrecks however it’s the “floating f...
