Hoddles Track

Park your car at Saddleback Mountain Lookout (six kilometres south west of Kiama) and follow the green marking posts west, up the escarpment to Mount Noorinan. This track was originally used to transport produce to Kiama for shipping in the 1800s, and at one point stretched all the way west to Bowral. Birdwatching is popular, keep an eye out for crimson rosellas, eastern bristlebird, and the golden whistler. Wear sensible shoes as the track is steeply graded and becomes slippery at times. The track takes about two hours with a distance of seven kilometres for the return journey. The grade is moderate, though it can be very steep at times.
