2025 Warooka Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

#summervacay #HiddenGem #MiniHike 📍Berrys Bay Lookout is definitely one of those lesser-known scenic spots in Sydney — we jokingly called it our “mini hike” because it’s probably the shortest trail we’ve ever done under the name of “hiking” 😄 But don’t be fooled by the length — the views here are stunning and super photogenic 📸! It’s a quiet, peaceful escape from the city, with beautiful coastal scenery that really clears your mind. 🅿️ How to get there: Navigate directly to Berrys Bay Lookout. There are plenty of street parking spots nearby. By public transport: take the train to Waverton Station, then walk about 10 minutes to reach the lookout. On the way, you'll pass by a vintage-style bus stop — totally worth a photo or two! 🚶♀️ The coastal boardwalk is short and sweet — around 30 minutes round trip, including a few stair sections. Great for a light walk and soaking in the harbor views. 🥐 Food tip: Right across from Waverton Station is a Turkish-style bakery called The Grumpy Bakery. So good!! It’s popular with locals — expect a queue, especially for takeaway. Definitely worth it for a snack or brunch before/after the walk. 📸 Hashtags: #SydneyHiddenGems #BerrysBayLookout #SydneyMiniHike #WavertonWalk

#australiatrip Warooka is the place to stay for family bonding when exploring the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. About a 2.5-3 hour drive from Adelaide, this little town is truly what one would call ‘quaint’. It has all the basic amenities (even a post office!) within walking distance of everything. Use this town as a base to visit beaches, pink salt lakes, cliffs, parks and much more! We loved discovering the sea birds just over the cliff and the salt lakes here are so huge that we could even wall on them! We also had the opportunity to go squidding 🦑 on a jetty nearby as well as spotted dolphins ❤️🐬 Bring board games for the night unless you are heading out for some star-gazing 🌟🌟🌟 You can also do both, of course! 😂 It’s a beautiful place to visit especially if you want to avoid the normal touristy crowd.
