About Southern Highlands

Discover the stunning Southern Highlands bushwalks just south of Sydney. From family-friendly waterfall walks to daring hikes, this region has it all. Within 2 hours out of Sydney, you can explore a range of national parks full of hidden gems.

Take the kids on walks through magical Bundanoon, where they can discover one of the few places in the country where you can see Glow Worms up close and personal at Glow Worm Glen. Or perhaps they'd like to see large waterfalls that can be found around the region like Fitzroy Falls, Carrington Falls or the popular Belmore Falls.

For those who are seeking something a little more challenging, Starlights Circut would suit you. Pick a short walk of only a few hours, or brave it and go over multiple nights and complete your journey in the Blue Mountains from Hill Top, along Starlights trail.
