My last day off in January 2023 took me on a short hike that I had done two or three times before. It went again with the ship from Sydney Circular Quay to Manly and then on foot along the North Head back to Manly.
🌊 Hiking Thirroul to Stanwell Park | Australia’s Stunning Coastal Walk
As with the hike before, this time we headed south again into the beautiful area just south of Royal National Park. This time I had chosen a hike from Thirroul to Stanwell Park on the map. From the train station Thirroul it went through jungle vegetation and finally steeply up to the plateau. Then it went most of the time on the plateau in the direction of Stanwall Park and there again down to the sea and finally with the rail replacement service back to Sydney. The hike took place in January 2023.
🌊 Hiking Around Stanwell Park | Cliffs, Beaches & Ocean Views
Another interesting area that is quite easily accessible from Sydney are the stations just south of the Royal National Park. Unfortunately, the trip here also takes about 2 hours, but the trip to the Blue Mountains takes much longer. I’ve driven through the area a few times by car, but never hiked through. So I decided for an easy and quite short hike, early 2023 around the small village of Stanwell Park.
🌳 Discovering the Great North Walk | Hawkesbury to Cowan Trail
I’ve been to a few places to hike around Sydney now. On this trip on a weekend day, this time I took the train north to Hawkesbury River station. At this station there is an access to the Great North Walk, which goes from Sydney to Newcastle or even further. I decided to walk the piece from Haweksbury River to one of the more southern stations. This walk took place in December 2022.
