Lime Kiln Bay & Oatley Park Loop
This is a great walk for lovers of wildlife and wildflowers but has something for all - bush, beach, mangroves, wetlands and one of the best playgrounds I’ve ever seen.
Fagan Park Loop
This walk takes you through and around this beautiful big park in Galston.
Manly to Dee Why
This is another one of those stunning Northern Beaches walks that follows the coastline as it winds along rugged cliffs and golden sandy beaches.
Sir Joseph Banks Park
This is a very family friendly trail through a city park that is part bushland, part urban garden, with plenty of birdlife, a fabulous playground and a unique history.
Wildflower Garden Walk
The Solander Trail is an easy walk and one of many trails you can take in the Ku-ring-ai Wildflower Garden on Sydney’s North Shore.
Maroubra to Coogee
This is a spectacularly scenic trail that hugs the sandstone cliffs between Coogee and Maroubra.
Mona Vale to North Narrabeen
This coastal trail on Sydney’s Northern Beaches traverses three headlands and several beaches, and you get spectacular views along the way.
Malabar Headland Walk
This is a spectacular walk and easily one of my favourites. It combines the jaw dropping ocean views of the Boora Point Track with the more subtle bushland beauty of the Western Escarpment Track.
Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan
The Australian Botanic Garden is a 416-hectare parkland, scattered with woodlands, wetlands and wide open spaces. There is plenty here to attract locals and out-of-towners alike.
Central Valley loop Walk
This walking trail is located in the middle of the Australian Botanic Gardens in Mount Annan. It’s only a short walk but is a great introduction to the Gardens as a whole.
5 Places to See Birds in Sydney
We’re spoilt for choice when it comes to birdwatching spots in Sydney. Here are five of the best.
Kurnell Foreshore Walk
This walk begins and ends on the edge of Kamay Botany Bay National Park. The trail follows the Burrawang Walk and continues along the Kurnell foreshore to Bonna Point Reserve before returning to the start.
Bicentennial Park Homebush
This is a great walk for families and nature lovers, bird lovers in particular. It’s a longish walk but can be easily adapted if you’re short on time.
Wolli Creek Walk
I did this walk on a beautiful late winter morning, turning to spring. It was the perfect time. Wild flowers were beginning to bloom, attracting plenty of birdlife.
Centennial Park Highlights
Centennial Park sits in Sydney’s city centre and it draws a crowd every day of the year. Why? Because there is so much to see and do.
Warriewood Wetlands
Looking for a leisurely stroll through through the trees, surrounded by birdsong? Try this one. The walk is not a long one - The track through the wetlands is just 2.4 km. But with a side trip to a local waterfall, you can clock up about 5km or around 6000 steps.
Centennial Park Walk
This is a short walk that can be done in under an hour. But if you’ve got all day, the best route to take is the one you make yourself as you wander off the beaten track.
Duffys Wharf Track
If you’re expecting to see an actual wharf at the end of this track you’ll be disappointed. The old wharf is long gone but there is a pretty trail down to where it once stood on the edge of Cowan Creek in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park
The Long Trail Duffys Forest
If it’s stunning natural vistas you’re after, they don’t get much better than the ones from Peach Trees Lookout at the end of the Long Trail in Duffys Forest.
Manly Dam
An instant favourite, this trail around Manly Dam takes you through woodlands and swampy lagoons, past tiny sandy beaches and cascading waterfalls.
