Spectacular views of Newcastle and its beaches. Brilliant design; from just a hill it has been transformed into a regular walking trek while giving a great tribute to the Australian WW1 diggers! Not to be missed..

We walked from the Otford lookout carpark north to Burning Palms Beach and then south along the beach to the Figure Eight Pools. It was a fairly warm early summer's day, and the forest part of the walk was wonderfully shady. Most of the beach stretch involved picking one's way across rocks... which was fun and challenging. Not much in the way of bird life, but I did see a water dragon and a tree dragon as well as a tiny black skink.
3. Lennox Head Boardwalk

The boardwalk is situated at the southern end of Lennox Heads. It is a fabulous long boardwalk starting just beyond Seven Mile Beach and it winds its way up toward Pat Morgan Lookout (do go up the stairs to the lookout if you have the time and energy, its gorgeous up there). The walk along the boardwalk is filled with locals walking their dogs and exercising. I really loved walking along here first thing in the morning when I stayed at Lennox Heads. There are whales and dolphins that swim by here during the season.

Grab a few drinks and some snacks, take a blanket, and arrive about half an hour before sunset to score a spot overlooking Boar's Head and Narrow Neck Plateau. It's really magical to see the cliffs lit up in the fiery red of the sunset. Perfect way to say farewell to the sun.
5. Curl Curl to Freshwater Beach Coastal Walk
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By JElliot32 - New South Wales, Australia
Undertook this walk as part of a walk from Collaroy to Manly. While my own favourite part of the Collaroy-Manly walk is the wilder and more elevated section around Dee Why headland, the stretch from Curl Curl to Freshwater also has plenty to offer, with some lovely coastal views (and summer breezes). It is also a much more straightforward and easier track to traverse, with much of it being along boardwalks. There are water stations along the way but there is not a lot of shade - it's definitely a good idea to wear a hat. .

Was passing through the Ingleburn area and needed to pass some time so i checked Ingleburn on trip advisor and all that came up was a Holy family catholic church with 2 5 star reviews Amen to that and also 2 cosmetic places and a massage place ?! Then Google searched it and Ingleburn Reserve came up. Was only about a 5 minute drive from the station where i was. Is amazing that from a built up area to 5 minutes away it was just massive blocks of land from the eye can see, was definitely what i was after :)!! The past few days have been bit on the rainy side so was quite suprised on what a perfect sunny morning it was with relatively complete blue skies :). Pulled into the Reserve and I was the only one to be seen. The Park was perfect for a chilled weekend with the family for a bbq lunch or picnic :). It had about about 10 benches with tables in total about half with roofs and half without, they had covered bbq with 2 hot plates, a playground for the kids and toilet block :). Plenty of parking around the road and even 2 disabled spots facing the park itself :). I parked at the entrance upon first view of the playground to the left and right beside to where I parked was the entrance to the 4 minute walk down to the Ingleburn Weir. Was green and nice right up the top but as soon as you were heading down you could see the aftermath of a bush fire almost all the way down to the weir. There were 2 seperate paths up top both to the left and right, the right was a cool little walk through some scrub to a smaller spot with 3 tables and the left path ended after about 50 metres. The Weir itself on the sunny morning that i was able to enjoy it was absolutely perfect and was definitely worth walking through the charred forest area. It has plenty of seating space around the weir or on both ends along the water for a picnic or just to lay down and read a book :). Been Ingleburn a bunch of times but this was my first time seeing the beautiful nature of Ingleburn, definitely on my list to come back with friends or family :)!!

8. Lake Parramatta Reserve

Reviewed By no1_rabbit - Sydney, Australia
Its so close to Parramatta area, short drive which took less than 5mins. We visited the place on Saturday afternoon around 130pm and was very busy and car park was packed. You can have BBQ, picnic, swim, canoe, paddle boat or bush walk. There are 3 different tracks you can do bush walk, She-Oak track(1.55km) is a easy walk along the lake edge, Banksia track(2.45km) is a moderate walk with uneven surfaces and you walk along the eastern edge taking in views of the lake, Lake Circuit(4.20km) is the most challenging track, some parts are a bit steep climb. We did the She-Oak track and did a bit of the Lake Circuit to explore the rainforest part. There was a cafe that you can order food, drinks and ice cream. We enjoyed the place so much and amazed that is in the middle of Parramatta!!
