FOUR. SPARKLING LIGHT TO LIGHT

One of New South Wales’ best-kept secrets is the amazing Light to Light Walk situated on the Sapphire Coast near Eden. This scenic 30km walk winds its way from the historic Lighthouse at Boyds Tower to the charming 1883 Lighthouse at Green Cape. Its dramatic landscape is a kaleidoscope of contrasts from the striking 320 million years old red rocky outcrops to open coastal heathland dotted with fairy-like wildflowers, thick groves of tea tree or paperbark trees as well as Eucalypt forests. And there’s plenty of sparkling clear water to cool off in along the way. And topping it off you’ll be staying beach site in the boutique and luxurious Seahorse Hotel with plates of local seafood to enjoy too. View our Light to Light walk.

FIVE. GLORIOUS CAPE TO CAPE WALK

And the final summer destination we’d like to share is the four-day Cape to Cape in WA’s Margaret River region. We showcase the best walking sections of this pristine coastline, wandering along high limestone cliffs for magnificent views as well as meandering through pretty coastal heathland and idyllic forests. And of course, they’ll be plenty of time to visit a few vineyards. It’d be rude not too! View our Cape to Cape walk.
