How to hike the Murramarang South Coast Walk

There’s a place on the New South Wales South Coast where spotted gums and Burrawang trees meet the ocean. Where eastern grey kangaroos hop along the sand and endless headlands give way to secluded beaches with water that shines bright blue. Welcome to Murramarang National Park, the home of the latest NSW Great Walk. The 34km, Grade 4, Murramarang South Coast Walk is a brilliant way to fully immerse yourself in the South Coast’s best-kept secret. There are a range of flexible ways to tackle the trail, making it a great option for all kinds of hikers and bushwalkers. My partner and I walked the trail over the recommended three days, and weeks later I’m catching myself still daydreaming of salty air and the rhythmic pounding of waves on the sand.
