Dharawal National Park

Great little place for a nice mini hike. We went to Minerva pools. Highly recommended.

A new and raw park. The efforts made to preserve flora and fauna are obvious, The tracks on Google do not correspond with the actual tracks. Due to the proximity of a coal mine, tracks are regularly slashed to maintain safe passage for fire fighting vehicles and to provide limited fire breaks. Nonetheless if you enjoy wild flowers, many surprises wait for you.

This place is absolutely stunning. The hike is beginner friendly but there are many other different tracks to take if you feel like a challenge. The Minerva Pools are beautiful and the colour of the water is so vibrant. There’s a lookout up above the pool so you can see it from up high. This is definitely worth seeing!

Incredible hike from Stanwell Tops to Austinmer (approx 16km and 5 hours). Well maintained pathways and gorgeous scenes throughout. Terrain varies but for the most part is moderately flat (some steep sections but not so steep it becomes stairs). Would be great for fit adults and children.

We went to the O'Hares lookout. What a lovely location. We took our two little ones for a "Bush walk". 2.4k return to the lookout, all along a sealed track. The kids rode their bikes (slight uphill out, mostly downhill back). We had a picnic lunch on the ground at the lookout. Quiet, clean, well maintained, and just lovely.
