Taken from the Three Sisters You can actually walk out to the three sisters, and you can take a 900 step walk down to the forest floor. Hard on the legs, but easier than going up the way ! |

Welcome to Summer Bay Summer Bay is actually a location called Palm Beach, a 55 min bus ride north of Sydney. Its is probably the best beach I've ever seen, with amazing surf and deep golden sand. |
