👍👍 Great coastal walk with an amazing view. The beach, waves and smell of the ocean what a great track!! Took around 30 - 1hour long one way. Highly recommend parking at Pioneers Park and walking down. Dont forget to apply sunscreen and wear a hat as there's not much shade

Over 70km of bush hiking paths, plus camping grounds, kayaking, fishing & swimming.

👍👍 Went for a nature’s walk at Cumberland Forest Reserve. A feature of this walk is the tall native trees and Cabbage Tree Palms. As well as cool gullies and ferns there is plenty of birdlife in the forest. Cumberland State Forest is the only urban forest in Australia. Adventure- Tree top adventure, I...

👍👍 First timers may be intimidated by a boom gate, thinking you may not be allowed in. Just walk on thru, I tell my kids we are sneaking in. Great views and amazing old bunker complex.

Nature area offering wooded hiking paths, boat rides on a quiet river & many picnic areas.

👍👍 An amazing coastal walk with absolutely gorgeous views. I never tire of going here. Great for wale watching too!

Cycling, hiking & horse riding amid sandstone rock formations, waterfalls & Aboriginal sites.

👍👍 Great place for a picnic or just a stroll along the river bank. Maybe even cast in a line and try your luck at catching some fish. Toilets, running water and plenty of parking too.

👍👍 One of the most spectacular walks in Sydney - a must for any visitor. A bush trail that snakes along the harbour coastline revealing hidden coves and beaches such as MIlk Beach and Queens Beach. Heading east, the trail effectively ends at Nielsen Park, a spot which could make a compelling case as th...

👍👍 Very nice place - a must visit, let me break down the review into key parts. Parking: Initially my concern was parking but there are a lot of parking places within the park, some of them are 3 hours only so be careful if you plan to spend more time there. Train: its a 2 min walk from Rhodes statio...

👍👍 I totally fell in love with this place. The coast is so beautiful and wild. All these cliffs with the big waves. Really impressive. There is a golf club really close by where you can see people play with a nice view. It was not really busy. We saw some people like us walking around. We just walked i...

👍👍 Don’t walk, RUN and book your slots for this tour right now. This is unlike any other tours I’ve gone for (and I’ve been on various day tours in Australia!). We went to multiple national parks and saw different waterfalls and scenic views. We even got to do short walks at some of the national parks...

👍 It's a place in the bush :) great view, sunrise, fishing. Park with decent toilet adjacent. Beware $12 card only access fee.

👍👍 Nice little beach, not a lot of parking but it's got enough. IGA across the road to buy bbq chicken and most other stuff u need and a dozen food and other shops. Toilet block across the road. Ramp to the beach if u need it. Not a lot of shade

👍👍 Great place to go for a hike, or a family and friend gathering with open spaces and bbqs provided.

👍 A nice parkland to wander around for about an hour. A very clear concrete pathway to follow.
