Walking through

January 23, 2016


Have been saying about going to the Macritchie treetop since June 2015 and due to our lazy bones, we have been dragging it until the start of YR2016! We gather all our strength to wake up early and set off towards it!

Things to pack in your bag-pack:
  • Sunblock to protect your skin
  • Water bottle (at least 150ml) to always stay hydrated
  • Mosquito patch to not get any bites!
  • Clothing to change to after the walk

Before you go, it’s always good to know the opening hours, distance and the estimated walking time so let me fill you in.

We took a total of 2.5hours to finish walking a distance of 6km (round trip including the Tree Top Walk). For you information we didn’t walk at our normal speed, we brisk walk a little. That means if you were to walk in your slow speed, it might take you a total of 3.5 hours?


The start off of the hike, you’ll only see tree, tree and more trees and you’ll be so focus on the road because there’s so much stones and branch that you thought you might just trip and fall. Fortunately for me, I packed some food with me first before heading and while walking I’m having my breakfast during the walk. Happy fat kid.
*Note: Please do not litter there and if you bring food, throw the rubbish back into your backpack and dump it when you see a proper rubbish bin.


After seeing this sign, sadly there is still a significant distance to go and the worst part of the whole trip would be the last 100m before the TreeTop Walk because it is upward sloping. Yes, I know. Argh. But survive it and you're ready to conquer the world! 



Magnificent isn't it? It simply took my breath away.


I think it’s a good place for couples or friends to go together, because while walking through you actually get to talk to each other a lot more than chilling in cafes or having a dinner as the remote place will make your wifi a little weaker.
“Disconnect to connect”

Furthermore, you’ll be able to let your eyes relax a little by looking at the trees, grass and the beautiful sky. Relax your inner soul and clear your mind.
Instead of copping in the city, get away with a hiking buddy now!
