Australia's best walking trails
Source //www.news.com.au/
WHETHER it's to get away from the hustle and bustle or to get in touch with nature, walking is cheap, easy and a great way to keep active.
So drag those sneakers out from the back of the closet, because here's your chance to walk the walk in the best the country has to offer.
NEW SOUTH WALES
Sydney's Great Coastal Walk
Over seven days this 100km walk between Palm Beach and Cronulla will remind you why Sydney's coastline is so spectacular – and make you wonder why you didn't do it sooner.
Opened officially in mid-2008, there are so many highlights along the way other than the beautiful beaches and ocean views. Be sure to explore Barrenjoey Lighthouse, completed in 1881; stop at Manly for cake and coffee as a well-deserved treat; and cool down with a swim at Bondi and Coogee Beaches.
If you can't do it end-to-end, create your own mini-adventure by choosing just a section of the
track to conquer – whether it be a day-trip, a few days, or just an afternoon outing with a picnic.
Many points along the way are accessible by public transport.
Six Foot Track, Blue Mountains
Follow the 45km trail of Australia's fifth largest marathon. It follows the original 1884 horse track that was created to take tourists from Katoomba to Jenolan Caves.
Over three days, wind up and down hills through rainforest, eucalypt forests and open-grazing
country. Pretty waterfalls, caves, rivers, sandstone cliffs and green valleys will catch your attention on the way. Set up camp at each of the three campsites along the track and enjoy the sights,smells and sounds of the wilderness at night.
Keep an eye out for kangaroos, echidnas, wombats and possums – and snakes too. When you
arrive at Jenolan Caves, be sure to take a tour of one of the finest and oldest cave systems in the
world to top it off.
VICTORIA
Great Ocean Walk
Over the 100km Great Ocean Walk that hugs Victoria's stunning southern coastline, there are a
range of walks on offer to tease you – from easy circuits you can conquer in less than an hour to
more difficult one-way hikes that will steal you away for a few hours at a time.
The track flows in such a way that hikers can choose short walk, day walk or overnight walk
options.
The western end finishes just 1.5km short of the 12 Apostles visitor area, where spectacular
coastline views will take your breath away – or else a climb to the top of the cliffs will.
The eastern end finishes near a range of modern restaurants and cafes so you can celebrate with
a delightful feast.
Throughout the Great Ocean Walk the remarkable natural wonders it's renowned for – the lakes,
waterfalls, beaches, national parks, cliffs and lookouts offering sweeping views – will make you
wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

TASMANIA
The Bay of Fires Walk
If you're a beach-lover, then this is the walk for you. Over four days, meander along the pure white sands of Tasmania's north-east coast at the edge of Mt William National Park.
Extending from Binalong Bay to Eddystone Point, the Bay of Fires walk will lead you over shellcovered beaches, alongside rocky headlands, and past sand dunes and Aboriginal middens (shell
and bone desposits).
At the end of each day, set up camp and reward yourself with a swim in the ocean to refresh and
recharge. Otherwise, relax and bird-watch or try your hand at some fishing to see if you can
provide a tasty seafood dinner for the night.
Fall asleep to the sound of waves rolling in and get up with the sun to continue the trail tomorrow.
If camping cramps your style but you don't want to miss out – there is a lodge-based, guided tour
available.
Dove Lake, Cradle Mountain National Park
Enjoy this rather easy 7.5km walk around Dove Lake, a glacial lake sitting at the base of Cradle
Mountain.
A very popular wilderness walk in Tasmania, this two-hour circuit follows a raised boardwalk
winding its way through rainforest and past quartzite beaches, and past a variety of native plants,
ancient myrtles and the deciduous beech. In late autumn, the beech's leaves turn gold and
copper before they are shed for the winter ahead, creating a fascinating display for visitors.
Along the way, the spectacular views up to Cradle Mountain will repeatedly steal your attention. As
a beautiful and gentle walk, this is the perfect trail for all ages and fitness levels.
