The view!

Ticking the last of the years bucket list off - Challenge yourself✔️
Mount Yacaaba is 210m above sea level, making the Yacaaba Headland walking track a rugged adventure and quite the challenge🥾⛰
Wander the rocky track sounded by towering eucalyptus and twisted banksias, and be rewarded by stunning views. The Grade 4, 7km walk is an exceptional morning out, with coffee or a beer waiting for you back down in Hawks Nest and Tea Gardens.

What a view. Great walk.

The Barrington Coast is popular for many things but solo travel is a little uncommon here. I feel it’s time to change that!

At the highest point of the Barrington Coast is a renowned wilderness sitting atop an ancient shield volcano. Here you can walk with dinosaur ghosts through Gondwana rainforests to lookouts across valleys of endless greens and skies of endless blues.

The Barrington Coast is famous for its waterways that tumble off mountains as they make their way to the sea. Some of these streams become mighty rivers but high up where they’re born, their pure waters offer some sensational waterfalls and cascades to enjoy.

Day trip from Idlewatch…

A group of us were lucky recently to experience the hidden treasures of tours offered within Copeland Tops State Conservation Area near Gloucester. These tours are conducted by volunteers with NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service and we enjoyed a taste of two tours.
