Sydney Off the Beaten Path Tips by martin_nl

The best walk I have done so far is the walk from the Spit bridge to Manly. It is a fantastic walk through forests, over beaches and over rocks. You have some amazing lookouts at various stops along the way. At some point it really feels like you are in the middle of the Mediterranean. Clear blue greenish water, lots of sailing boats and yachts etc. Make sure you go out and do this walk on a sunny day during the weekend, because there will be much more happening on the water and on the beaches ;-)

To get to the Spit bridge just take bus 460 from Wynyard station and get out at the Spit bridge. Right opposite the stop you will find a kayak rental place. This might be cool to do aswell for a couple of hours, before you start the walk. To actually start the walk, cross the bridge and the continue walking under the bridge and that's where the start is.

The walk is very good signposted, so you don't need a map really. Just keep in mind the walk will take you along the water, so always keep the water in sight and you'll be fine. Have fun and let me know what you thought of it.

If you want to see some more pics and read some more about this track take a look at my Manly Scenic Walkway travelogue. Click on the link below to see a very detailed map of the walk.

Not as spectacular as Manly Scenic Walkway, but nevertheless an interesting walk is the one from Bondi Beach to Coogee Beach. You can start where you want, but we were told the easiest is to walk from Bondi to Coogee. You follow the coast line pretty much all the way and along the way you will come accross many beahces, such as Tamarama and Bronte. You will also pass quite a big graveyard which is situated on the cliffs. There are really huge gravestones here.....

Too bad we didn't have a great day, so that might have something to do with the way I value this walk. I might do it again on a sunnier day.

A two hours train ride from Sydney the Blue Mountains National Park is situated. You will not find that the mountains here are coloured blue, but there is a sort of haze coming from the eucalyptus trees that is a bit blue. Pictured you will see the Three Sisters, which is the best known attraction of the Blue Mountains. Though certainly not the only one. I will tell you more about the Blue Mountains on my Blue Mountains National Park page soon.
