Long Reef to Dee Why
This is a great walk not only because it single handedly meets the recommended step count for the day. But the surrounds are so beautiful, changing with the seasons and time of day, that it never feels like drudgery.
Government House Gardens
Take a stroll or a picnic in the pretty gardens of Government House, open to the public on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Wendy's Secret Garden
The secret of this inner city garden is well and truly out and it has fast become a go to spot for weddings, parties and family outings.
Botanic Gardens Highlights
The Royal Botanic Gardens is a sanctuary in the centre of the city. So it’s little wonder that it’s one of Sydney’s most popular tourist attractions.
The State Library
The State Library is not just a library. It is also a gallery and museum with an extensive collection from Australia and abroad.
Cronulla Loop Track
If you’re looking for an easy, mostly level walk, with stunning views and the chance for a dip at several points along the way, this walk along the coastline at Cronulla is perfect
Kokoda Track Memorial Path
If you’re looking for a long walk, this is not it. But if you’re up for a little history, close to the city but in natural surrounds, then the Kokoda Track Memorial Walkway is worth a look.
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.
Kirribilli Loop
This walk around Kirribilli is beautiful, a picture postcard around every corner and you’ll be able to tick off many Sydney landmarks along the way. And it's an easy walk too; a few stairways but nothing too difficult.
Narrabeen Lagoon
This walk follows a beautifully picturesque track around Narabeen lagoon. You can do it in one go, which takes about two hours or in sections with parking and rest stops at regular intervals.
The Basin Track
This is a return trip. You can go down and back up in 90 minutes or so but much better to combine it with a picnic or overnight stay.
