Warning: these views may cause spontaneous “wow” moments 😍
From ocean lookouts to rainforest climbs, here are a few Illawarra walks that’ll have you feeling on top of the world (literally):
🌿 Wodi Wodi Track: A leg burner with a serious payoff – those views hit different once you’ve earned them.
🌿 Brokers Nose: Short, sweet, and oh-so-scenic. Bonus points if you spot the comms tower selfie spot at the top.
🌿 Mount Keira Ring Track: Rainforest trails, epic lookouts, and a solid reminder of why we live where we do.
🌿 Mount Kembla Ring Track: Peaceful, pretty, and perfect for that “lost in nature” kind of day.
Alright, adventurers – which one’s your fave?
