ニューサウスウェールズ州のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Manly Scenic Walkwayは、Spit BridgeからManlyまでの10キロメートルの片道海岸沿いの散策路で、Middle HarbourとNorth Harbourの端に沿って進みます。グレード3のこのコースは、途中でブッシュランド、港のビーチ、展望台を通り抜け、所要時間は約3.5〜4.5時間です。見どころには、Clontarf Beach、Reef Beach、Grotto Pointのアボリジニの彫刻、Dobroyd Headからの眺めが含まれます。

マウント・コジオスコ山頂展望台は、オーストラリア最高地点の標高2,228メートルに位置し、スノーウィー山脈の広々とした景色を望めます。ローソン峠からの最後の区間は、天候が急変しやすい高山地帯の、なだらかで開けた道を進みます。山頂からは、なだらかな山々、高い平原、遠くの尾根が四方を取り囲んでいます。ここはほとんど避難場所がないため、晴れた日でも風が吹くことを覚悟し、下山する前に景色をじっくりと堪能してください。

Rawson Pass sits at about 2,100 meters above sea level. Its the high saddle where the Main Range Track encounters the Mount Kosciuszko summit path. It's a junction and turning point, with trails leading either to the summit or back toward Charlotte Pass. The exposed alpine gives wide views across the plateau, making it a natural turning point on the circuit. Environmentally designed composting toilets are located here, but there's no water or shelter, so walkers need to come prepared.

This is a great spot to get a clear view down over Lake Albina, set within the steep-sided cirque with its rugged rock walls and alpine slopes that drop sharply to the water. On clear days, the view extends along the Main Range, making this an ideal place to capture memorable photos before continuing along the track.

Carruthers Peak, at 2,145 metres, is one of the highest points along the Main Range, and marks the transition to the exposed ridge section of the track. From its slopes, you can enjoy fantastic sweeping views across the western mountains and surrounding alpine terrain.

Blue Lake Lookout, via a short side track, offers beautiful views across the glacial lake and surrounding cirque with interpretive signs that explain the area’s glacial history and alpine ecology. It's one of the circuit’s main viewpoints and a popular rest stop along the track.

At the lowest point of the circuit, the track crosses the Snowy River near its confluence with Club Lake Creek, with plenty of stepping stones that can help keep your feet dry. Depending on the water level, there may even be a small island midway. The crossing can become impassable after heavy rain or snowmelt, which is a good reminder of the alpine environment’s changing conditions. It’s a beautiful spot in the valley where walkers often pause to enjoy the water and the surrounding scenery.

The Main Range Walking Track is a challenging alpine route that climbs from the Snowy River through herbfields and glacial terrain. Along the way, it passes lookouts, lakes, and high ridges before joining the summit walk near Rawson Pass. The trail is well-known for expansive mountain views and seasonal wildflowers, making it one of the park’s signature day walks.
