Sunrise Bushwalks
There is no better way to start the day then watching sunrise from a beautiful location in the bush, hopefully with some water views too. Here are some of our favourites.
To tell you the truth, we're not really morning people so these walks are East facing either right on the beach or with a bit of elevation, hopefully with a view of sunrise. A few morning people friends have convinced us to do Boudi Bullimah Spur Track (2.8km) and it was stunning, that's about it that we have done in the morning (we've walked them at different times, just not at sunset so take these with a grain of salt).
This is also a great guide to bushwalks on the Central Coast with Ocean views or water views as all these bushwalks are east facing and usually have great ocean views. These bushwalks often have great lookouts. These are the Central Coast bushwalks with some of the best views on the coast.
We also have a guide to Wildflowers on the Central Coast because there are so many stunning flowers in the bush here.

The book
Find a sunrise lookout in the book
A Cornucopia of Central Coast Walks indexes its lookouts, including Mt Ettalong, Warrah, Wyrrabalong and Winney Bay, so you can pick a view for first light from over 100 walks. Each walk has a map and numbered directions for setting off in the dark.

A picture book for little walkers
The Bush Wee is my read aloud picture book for children aged 2 to 7. A little explorer sets off on a big walk in the Central Coast bush, then realises there is no toilet anywhere nearby. Along the way it teaches real bush skills, like which soft leaves make good toilet paper.
