A varied and interesting walk that takes in meandering rainforest trails, tall woodlands, open trails and a sad journey back in time through Wollongong’s mining history.
One of Wollongong’s most beautiful and unique walks. Depending on the weather; a plethora of fungi, an eerie walk in the clouds or simply a great walk to absorb the iconic Wollongong coastline and Lake Illawarra views. A great walk anytime of year, enjoying plenty of wildlife with a short challenging walk.

The Ken Ausburn trail is a short CBD trail that offers plenty of options to extend for a longer hike or stay with the shorter trail to enjoy all it’s health benefits, views, history, art and wildlife. Best part – it’s close to town, a clear defined trail and wide enough to handle a few people too.
We rate this walk as one of the best for views in the Gong, it’s spectacular, a good walk time of about 2hrs and provides a good mix of flora and fauna.
Hidden in the hinterland behind the beautiful country town of nearby Berry, few people realise there is a local treasure hiding exquisite forests, timeless geological features and depending on the mood of Mother Nature, a vista of the coastline that is truly magnificent.
