Newington Nature Reserve
This walk begins with a stroll along the Parramatta River and ends in an old armory. It’s an easy stroll, suitable for families with children who will love the nearby playground up the hill in Blaxland Riverside Park.
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.
Spit to Manly
This walk from the Spit Bridge in Mosman to the ferry Wharf in Manly is one of the best known and most scenic coastal walks in Sydney. The views are spectacular and there are plenty of places to swim, play and picnic 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.
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.
Flat Rock Gully
This is a lovely little bushland escape in the middle of a busy urban landscape. And you can finish off your walk with a swim at the local leisure centre or all day breakfast and coffee at the popular Incinerator Cafe.
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
Parramatta Lake Trail
The Parramatta Lake Trail is a loop track, or a few tracks really though the longer yellow track is the one outlined here. If you have the time, pack a picnic and make a day of it. There are BBQ facilities, a dedicated swimming area, playgrounds and free parking.
Cape Baily Track
This spectacular clifftop walk lies within the grounds of Kamay Botany Bay National Park and is just around the headland from Captain Cook’s landing place.
Rose Bay to Watsons Bay
This walk begins with a ferry ride from Circular Quay. Starting at one wharf and finishing at another, you can start at either end and it is for the most part a pretty level walk
Balls Head & Berry Island
Like most harbourside walks, the views you get on this one are amazing. Unlike others though, this one feels like a real bushwalk.
