10 travel moments that restored our faith in humanity. Stories of kindness from life on the road.
All my friends are buying houses and having babies, yet I'm about to embark on my fourth big trip travelling. Here's how it feels to give it all up again to travel in your thirties.
This lesser known walk in the Blue Mountains offers incredible views and you’re likely to get them all to yourself! You can also visit the old coal mine and kiln which is a throwback to the industrial period between the 1860’s and 1920’s. We’re sharing everything you need to know about the trail, including how to visit all the sights, none of which are signposted.
Knapsack Bridge is an old sandstone viaduct built in the 1860’s which sits above a lovely little patch of rainforest. It’s a great spot to visit and a short and relatively easy bushwalk will take you there. We’re sharing all the details, including the side trails and another old heritage bridge nearby.
Karloo Pools is one of the most incredible wild swimming spots near Sydney. With deep emerald water and a stunning bushland setting, it’s one of Royal National Park’s must dos. It can get busy, but if that’s the case on your visit we’re letting you in on the secret alternative swimming spots which are reached from Karloo Pools itself.
Litchfield National Park is one of our favourites in all of Australia. With jaw dropping waterfalls that cascade into pristine swimming holes, one of the best places to catch a sunset in the NT, and termite mounds which are taller than you, it’s a must visit destination. We’re sharing all the top spots and the best time to visit them to avoid the crowds.
Bushrangers Cave is a fantastic hidden gem in the Blue Mountains. You can be as adventurous as you want, exploring just the main cave, or head up the rickety ladder to the passages above. The walk to get there, if you take the slightly longer route is just as fabulous, with more caves and wonderful views. We’re sharing everything you need to know about the walk including difficult and trail conditions.
Coxs Cave sits on top of a cliff and has epic views out to the mountains and bushland beyond. Accessing the cave is quite an adventure, as it requires climbing up a tall ladder. It’s a fantastic hidden spot in the mountains and doesn’t require long to get to. We’re sharing everything you need to know including difficulty and trail conditions.
The Katoomba Night Walk takes you to see some of the most famous waterfalls and rock formations in the area after dark. This easy stroll through forested paths lit by gentle spotlights is a chance to see Katoomba as you’ve never seen it before. It’s especially atmospheric if you luck out and get a starry sky too! We’re sharing everything you need to know about the walk.
Ghosties Beach is a real Central Coast gem. With towering cliff walls that give it a secluded vibe and pristine sand, it’s the perfect place to while away an afternoon. If you’re looking for an adventure there are also several incredible sea caves to explore. We detail exactly how to do this safely and everything else you need to know about the beach and caves.
Curracurrang Falls is a hidden gem in Royal National Park: a picturesque waterfall with a gorgeous pool to swim in. It’s also blissfully quiet - primarily because it’s not signposted so no one would know its there. We’ll give you step by step instructions to get there, as well as a more scenic version of the walk to this beautiful oasis.
National Falls is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Royal National Park. You can even walk behind the falls which is quite a novelty in Sydney! The upper falls are easy to access but the lower falls are less so and are not signposted. We’re covering everything you need to know about the upper and lower falls including difficulty and trail conditions.
