Starting from the car park off the intersection of Beecroft Parade and Crookhaven Parade, Belmont, this walk takes you on a circuit around Abrahams Bosom Reserve via the Coomies Walk. This moderately easy loop winds its way around Abrahams Bosom Reserve on the Beecroft Peninsula, which forms the northern headland of Jervis Bay and is home to spectacular coastal scenery, passing several side trips to various points of interest along the way. The walk initially crosses a wooden footbridge over Abrahams Bosom Creek, then heads to Whale Point, where the 1928 shipwreck of the S.S. Merimbula is located. Leaving the wreck site, the walk passes Wilsons Beach and Lobster Bay, then continues to a cliff edge lookout near Mermaids Inlet. After passing a side trip to Beecroft Head, the walk heads past the Merimbula Trig Station, then crosses the creek again and passes an Aboriginal rock shelter before returning to the car park. Walkers should note that access to Gosangs Tunnel and Mermaids Inlet is closed to the public for safety reasons, and after heavy rains, sections of the trail can get very muddy. This loop consists of wide and narrow, gently undulating walking trails with uneven natural surfaces, compacted natural surfaces, boardwalk sections and rocky sections. It is suitable for average fitness levels. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Starting from the Long Gully Campground off Long Gully Road, Budawang National Park, this takes you to the summit of Byangee Mountain and back via the Byangee Mountain Walking Track. This challenging hike climbs to the summit plateau of Byangee Mountain, a flat-topped mountain located between The Castle and Pigeonhouse Mountain in the Budawangs, standing about 500m above sea level. The walk begins at the Long Gully campground, crossing the Yadboro River into Morton National Park, then climbs the ridgeline above Castle Creek and follows a fire trail to the southern base of The Castle. From there, the walk follows a narrow path along the escarpment base, passing stunning rock formations such as Cathedral Cave and the Natural Arch, then heads across the saddle at Castle Gap. After some moderate rock scrambling up the Byangee Walls, including rope-assisted sections and a narrow rock passage, the walk reaches the plateau summit of Byangee Mountain, which offers panoramic views of The Castle, Pigeon House Mountain and the Clyde River Valley. If time allows, walkers can continue to Pickering Point, Byangee Mountain's easternmost point, before returning to the campground. This walk consists of wide and narrow walking trails, fire tracks and off-track sections, with uneven natural surfaces, compacted natural surfaces, rock scrambling sections, creek crossings and steep hills. Suitable for high fitness levels. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Starting from the car park at the end of Budderoo Plateau Road, Budderoo National Park, this walk takes you to Gerringong Falls and back via the Gerringong Falls Walk. This moderately easy walk meanders through Budderoo National Park to the top of Gerringong Falls, an impressive 180-metre-high, two-tier waterfall in the stunning Southern Highlands. The walk combines the Budderoo Track and Hersey Fire Trail, which are both fairly flat, wide and easy to follow, suitable for walking or cycling. The walk initially follows the Budderoo Track through dense bushland characteristic of the Southern Highlands, with colourful displays of wildflowers in spring. At around the 6km mark, the walk begins following the Hersey Fire Trail, which descends gently towards Gerringong Falls. Near the top of the falls, instead of crossing Gerringong Creek, it's recommended that walkers follow the narrow trail to the left, which leads to a spectacular vantage point overlooking the falls. There are also several swimming spots at the top of the falls. Although it's possible to scramble down to the bottom of the falls, this should only be attempted by highly experienced bushwalkers. This walk consists of wide and narrow, gently undulating walking trails and fire tracks, with uneven natural surfaces and compacted natural surfaces, suitable for average fitness levels. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
