Warrah Lookout
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Beautiful Lookout. Quick walk with well maintained stairs. Great variety of flowers along the way. The view from above made me want to go and see the small town below (Patonga). Great distance for little ones and the lookout is fenced off well.

Broken Bay Pearl Farm
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Lovely tour on the Hawkesbury River with friendly and informative staff. We learned a lot about Pearl farming, oysters and Pearl trade. Blankets were provided on the boat as it was a bit cloudy that day, very thoughtful.
Highly recommend!

Elephant Rock
National reserve
👍👍 A hidden spot with magnificent view. The rock formation made you feel like you are on the back of an elephant with a bird's- eye view, real amazing. Beautiful wide view captured Palm Beach view and Patonga Beach view. Great place, love it.

Flint And Steel Beach
Beach
👍 Nice beach, quiet and isolated, not many people. Walk from the road is not hard and rather short (about 10-15 min).
There are some hand made improvised log shelters, a few small caves and a figure of a lady made out of stones ;)

Resolute Beach
Beach
👍👍 I was lucky enough to visit on a warm winters day mid-week, so the trail was almost empty at mid-morning, and what a scenic little spot this is.
It’s a stark reminder that despite living in a busy city, we also have national parks on our doorstep, and you can almost lose yourself in these wildernes...

West Head Beach
Beach
👍👍 Quick walk from West Head Lookout, though lots of stairs! Small but beautiful beach with big rocks. Unsure if it’s always like this but today it seemed a lot wavier than the next beach down the trail (Resolute).

Mount Wondabyne
National park
👍 Was just looking for a place to run while taking some R&R time in Phegan’s Bay. The Tunnel Trail was suggested by Strava so off I went. It didn’t totally connect in my head that I’d have to run up Woy Woy Road just to get there. Not much a shoulder, but I ran on the side of oncoming traffic just so...

👍👍 Really nice nature walk, was greeted by some friendly kookaburras. I got a little bit lost trying to find the entrance from the car park but eventually made it there. Took some beautiful photos from the first small bridge to the right.

Warrah Trig
Tourist attraction
👍 The road to the carpark is currently closed officially because of the rain damage, but this looks like it has been repaired! The only things stopping people driving the 1.5km is the stone blocks and the sign saying road closed to vehicles, overall pleasant walk with nice views at the lookout.

Kariong Brook Falls
Scenic spot
👍👍 A very small section to park! Its quite the sharp turn near the brown Scenic Lookout sign. The first half along the ridge is easy gentle downhill about 40 mins. The next half of downhill to the valley is made up of rocky steps and muddy platforms may be tricky for some. I wore hiking boots but have...
