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.
Fagan Park Loop
This walk takes you through and around this beautiful big park in Galston.
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.
Pymont Foreshore walk
This waterside stroll takes you through areas formerly crowded with industry. There are plenty of places to stop for a bite and take in the harbour views.
The Harbour Bridge Turns 90!
Today Sydney celebrated 90 years since the opening of the Harbour Bridge.
Sydney City Sculpture Walk
Get acquainted with some of the many statues, sculptures and other installations scattered around town.
Milsons Point to Mrs Macquarie’s Chair
This is a loop walk. The path takes you around the harbour, past galleries and through gardens, and you’ll find plenty of places to dine or picnic along the way.
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.
Cockatoo Island
On a recent visit to Cockatoo Island, I managed to rack up 8000 steps. Granted, I did wander back and forth a bit, meandering rather than following a prescribed route. But isn’t that the best way to see a place?
The Sydney Observatory
There’s a lot of history here as well as great views over the harbour and city surrounds.
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.
Taronga to Balmoral
Bush, beach, nature and wildlife, this walk from Taronga Beach to Balmoral Beach has it all. Add to this some great picnic spots, playgrounds and amenities as well as flashes of Sydney’s modern and ancient past.
