If you enjoy walking and being close to nature, this experience is for you. We leave the car behind and step into quiet bush tracks, open mountain landscapes, and dramatic escarpment viewpoints — where every step brings you closer to the natural beauty of the Southern Highlands.
Your day begins with a convenient door-to-door pickup from your chosen location between Thirroul and Wollongong, between 8:30 and 9:00 am. As your private local guide, I'll take care of everything — so all you need to do is show up and enjoy the journey.
We first travel to Fitzroy Falls, one of the region's most impressive natural landmarks. After a visit to the Fitzroy Falls Visitor Centre, we set out along the scenic West Rim Walking Track — a 4 km return walk leading to Renown Lookout. Along the way, take in breathtaking views of Fitzroy Falls and Lady Hordern Falls as they cascade through deep sandstone gorges, with sweeping vistas across the Yarrunga Valley.
From here, we continue to the charming village of Robertson, known as the “Green Heart” of the Southern Highlands. Surrounded by lush pastures and rolling countryside, this peaceful stop offers time to relax, explore, or enjoy a well-earned coffee break.
The journey then leads to Belmore Falls, beginning at Hindmarsh Lookout, where expansive views stretch across the escarpment and deep into Kangaroo Valley. Following a well-marked track along the cliff edge, we pause at several lookouts before reaching the final viewpoint — where the falls drop gracefully into the valley below.
This thoughtfully paced full-day tour runs approximately 6 to 7 hours, with walks of up to 5 km on well-maintained paths. This tour is best suited to active walkers with a moderate fitness level. Plenty of time is given at each stop to take photos, soak in the views, and simply enjoy the moment.
This is the Southern Highlands as it should be experienced — personal, unhurried, and unforgettable.
