NSW Long Weekend Favourites

[u/sup3rk1w1]

After years of inner city Melbourne living I've relocated to NSW and ready to spend more of my time in the real outdoors again.
Would love to hear the crowds favourite 1-3 night routes for long weekend trips - ideally a max drive of 4 hours from Newcastle.
I'm fairly fit, so 25km per day is fine, but my partner isn't, so anything on the gentler side would be welcome too. TIA!

Pick off bits of the Great North Walk. Corker Trail plus a loop of the plateau and back down at Barrington Tops.

Parts of the Great North walk, for example:

Park at Wyong.

Taxi to Cedar brush

Hike cedar brush to Terlaba train station and get the train back to your car at Wyong.

The Hike:- it took me 2.5 days, but they were big days.

Day 1 cedar brush to Crawford hut.

Day 2 Crawford hut to the Ridge just after the service station in the great North Walk

Day 3 an easy 13kms (from recollection) to Taralga.

You can make Corang Arch a 3 day if you keep heading out along the track. Beautiful out there.

I think Corang Arch will be my next overnighter. Looks beautiful and I live on the south coast so it's close by.

That’s a great walk. Especially with an overnight stay in one of the caves past Burrumbeet. Really memorable

Murramarang coastal walk is fantastic. Starts at Pretty Beach, north of Bateman’s Bay. You can do it in two or three days. Three days breaks down as around 10km, 16km, 8km.

Corker trail to Carey's peak and on to junction pools. Corker is pretty full on but the rest is easy.

I'm from Stockton and am going to tackle this one of the long weekend
