Walking in New South Wales – a journey for the spirit as well as the body and mind

Frans Horizon

Even in the age of the four-wheel drive and the mountain bike, our feet will take us places that nothing else will.

New South Wales has two-footed experiences that you won’t find anywhere else on planet Earth.

There are mountain hikes that rise through wildflower meadows to glacier-carved lakes, rainforest rambles, coastal classics and city strolls. Even if you’re in the heart of Sydney with only half a day to spare, there are walks to inspire, to soothe and to satisfy. Put on your walking shoes, and discover a state full of revelation.
