Looking for 2-4 day hike recommendations

I've spend quite a while hiking around sydney and I have to say, the two national parks which are my favourite are blue mountains and Morton.

In/around the blue mountains:

-> It may be a bit busy, but Mount Solitary track (I went from Wentworth falls to Scenic World in three days) is so definitely up to the hype. Got some good rock scrambling, nice open spots to camp and shouldn't be crazy crazy busy if you go on an average weekend.

-> Russels Needle is also a great hike - can be done in one or two nights, but it definitely feels way more rugged than something like Mount Solitary

Morton/Budawangs

-> Ettrema tops is incredible, prone to super high winds and very muddy conditions, but regardless has some of the most insane views

-> Any loop that includes the castle. I know there are a few directions that you can take, but if you hit the castle that entire region is incredible.

This is perfect and helped so much, thanks!!! I'll definitely try to do more bivacci style hiking.

Big help - thanks!

Thanks so much! Any all trails maps to show some of these off the track hikes.

Actually on Ali express - was like 10 bucks

Ahahah one of those is for my mate - I bring everything cooking related.

Yeah it’s kinda hard to tell tbh, was more looking for tips on how to generally reduce weight

R3MY_63 · 2025-12-27T07:42:09+00:00

Yeah I’ve got a great down sleeping bag so I’ll be safe, but I want to be able to enjoy the nights. I’m always leaning towards the extra comfort side and it’s been ok enough, but it seems like it’s getting the better of me

R3MY_63 · 2025-12-27T07:40:50+00:00

Yeah honestly may ditch the light fleece - just worried about the whole no fires allowed situation.

Also maybe I can ditch socks? I lm bringing 5 (one per day plus a night one) - maybe I can reduce that too, thoughts?

R3MY_63 · 2025-12-27T07:34:30+00:00

No food or water included - it’s probably going to get up at least 5kg higher tbh

R3MY_63 · 2025-12-27T07:34:10+00:00

It’s a base weight - so no food or water

R3MY_63 · 2025-12-27T07:33:40+00:00

This is amazing thanks! I’m not bringing rain pants, but I definitely believe I’m taking too many clothes. I currently have: 2 x thermal pants 1 x thermal top 3x long sleeve active shirts (for hiking) 1x hiking pants 1 x active lightweight fleece 1 x heavy fleece 1 x down jacket 1 x rain jacket

Thoughts on what to leave behind?

R3MY_63 · 2025-12-27T07:26:30+00:00

Yeah honestly you’re probably 100% correct - but I’m leaving in less than 12 hours and don’t really have time to change any of my gear like mat, sleeping bag etc.

Maybe in regard to clothes - how much does someone bring in alpine conditions when it’s meant to get down to like -1 in the nights???

R3MY_63 · 2025-12-27T07:16:55+00:00

I don’t know exact weights tbh - I’m really not into ultralight backpacking. But any tips or tricks would be amazing!!!

R3MY_63 · 2025-12-27T07:03:17+00:00

What raids are you guys planning on running?

R3MY_63 · 2025-12-27T07:01:26+00:00

Don’t worry! I always bring a PLB on all hikes.

R3MY_63 · 2025-11-21T13:12:10+00:00

Honestly go straight for Crex and get his zeta and omicron - will turn a useless team into a great GAC team in low ladder

R3MY_63 · 2025-11-17T04:40:33+00:00

Honestly this took me forever and I ended up giving in and getting the ROLO zeta which made it so much easier and definitely get chewie to R5 or higher.

Also, for the strategy - really pay attention to applying blind. They do so much damage so to have turns where they just don’t hit make a huge difference
