Katoomba to Leura via the Amphitheatre Walking Track. Roughly 3 to 4km and around 2 to 3 hours depending how long you spend down there. Accessible by public transport, you can start from either Katoomba Station or Leura Station, both within walking distance to the track entrances. From the Katoomba side, the trailhead begins near Furber Steps / Scenic World area, dropping you straight down into the valley. From the Leura side, you can enter via Leura Cascades, following the creek system down into the same valley. The track follows the creek through rainforest, mossy boulders and constant cascades before opening up into a natural rock amphitheatre with water running down the full rock face. There are more falls sitting further upstream at the head of it and heaps of birdlife the whole way through. This area can become a flash flood zone after heavy rain, so take care and avoid entering during or after heavy rainfall.

Did this yesterday and it’s easily one of the best coastal tracks around. Cliffs, ocean views, beaches and a nice greenery. Roughly 4km, so a good shorter walk that still delivers. This is perfect for slowing down and making a day out of it. Heaps of beaches along the way to stop at, cool off or just take it all in. Saw a bunch of wildlife on the trail as well, and if you’re lucky you can even spot dolphins out of season. You can access this spot by train to Cronulla and getting the ferry across to Bundeena or you can drive in and pay for a national parks day pass or national parks pass. (Can pay online prior to starting) Perfect day for it and the whole track was looking unreal.

I started this to explore NSW one national park at a time and share the best spots along the way. This space is about connecting hikers from all over. Sharing favourite trails, camping spots, waterfalls and hidden locations. The goal is simple Find people to hike with Discover new places Build a community so no one feels stuck going solo if that’s not their thing Waterfalls, views, random finds and real trail info. It’s about sharing what we already know and enjoy, while creating genuine connections along the way. This is a way to get more people out into nature while still doing our part to respect and protect it. Group hikes will be organised as the community grows, so whether it’s your first hike or you’re just looking to make it more social, you’re welcome If you’ve just joined, say hey 👇 Where are your go to hiking spots? What kind of hikes are you into? Keen to see where everyone’s been exploring 👀
