The Wodi Wodi track has been newly refurbished, and that's great news as this iconic trail passes through some beautiful rainforest worth visiting. Of course that's only a short section of this hike as we climb up onto the lofty Illawarra escarpment for stunning coastal views as we make our way to Sublime point for a well earned plate of optional hot chips or anything else that takes your fancy from the cafe there. Before descending down the amazing steel staircase to the valley floor below to catch the train back to Sydney. lots of steps
