This track is stunning!
(Before we get into it, remember to follow @thefamilyfind for more travel inspiration)
The Cape to Cape Track is a 130km trail running between Cape Naturaliste and Cape Leeuwin.
But this section between Sugarloaf Rock and the Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse is incredibly accessible.
It’s just 7.2km return and absolutely loaded with clifftop magic, sweeping ocean views, passing dolphins and the most beautiful coastal flora.
With points of interest at both ends, this is a truly family-friendly hike and one we’d absolutely add to your WA bucket list.
Our family loved this walk. We started at the sugarloaf end with the slight incline on the way, for an easy walk in the way back.
SAVE for when you’re planning your Western Australia adventure!

Can’t believe we left it to chance and ended up here!
Follow along @thefamilyfind for more epic and family friendly adventures.
If you haven’t been to Hat Head you need to get this one on your bucket list ASAP!
I’ll be honest, the caravan park is blah, but the location seriously cannot be beaten.
The park is dog friendly, but the national park across the bridge is not. The hikes are easy and kid friendly, but spectacular.
The tidal lagoon will have the kids entertained all day and we also loved heading up the road and playing on the huge sand dunes. These can be found by parking at Hungry Gate campground.
These perfect escape!!!
Save this one for when you’re planning your next adventure.

A waterfall hidden in a national park not far from Coffs Harbour.
The 4WD track in is no joke — steep, technical and not something to take lightly.
This place deserves respect.
Leave no trace.

Yes I’m a 37 year old mum, who to others probably looked like a right goose on the jumping pillow, but to my kids I was awesome!

Swimming with wildlife like turtles and whale sharks, snorkelling straight off the beach on the world’s largest fringing reef. Where the ocean meets the desert! Where you can camp on the sand and make friends for life!
📍THIS IS THE NINGALOO

Hands down the best waterfall in Australia!
Australia’s tallest, single drop waterfall does not disappoint!
(Follow along @thefamilyfind for all your Australian travel tips, hidden gems and family friendly adventure)
It’s only 50km off the coast and certainly is worth the drive from Ingham.
We actually stayed the night prior behind the information centre in Ingham and left the van there for our visit to the falls the next morning!
You can view the waterfall from a viewing platform, just a short walk from the car park - accessible for everyone, but if you want to experience the pure magic we would HIGHLY recommend taking the walk to the bottom. It’s very steep and there’s warning signs stating not to take on the walk with heart issues!
Our kids did it fine, fast on the way down and Slow and steady on the way back!
Pack plenty of water and a snack for the bottom so you can just sit and soak in the power of the falls around you!
Pack your bug spray as the blow flys were pretty intense when we visited.
