adventures with amy
Добавлен 14 дек 2015
Helloo and welcome to the channel! Follow my solo adventures as an introvert finding places around Sydney (and sometimes overseas) to explore on a weekend away from the crowds. I cannot deny there'll be a classic spot every now and then once my social battery has recharged.
Come along to see how the hike goes and discover somewhere new!

glenbrook, again...
a little beyond the also lesser well-known Duck Hole, you'll come across this fantastic waterhole. Was wonderful being able to choose from a deep swimming hole and just chilling a little upstream with a little spa moment. A great spot to get away from the heat and the crowds...
An easy walk as well, and if you time it well, can see the trains go past on the walk there. Just a small scramble to get to the bottom, but definitely worth walking that little extra over the Glenbrook hot spots (Blue Pool and Jellybean Pool).
snacks I ate (from Con's Deli and Patisserie in Glenbrook)
◑ bagels
◐ smoked ham
◑ provolone cheese
◐ mixed semi-sun dried tomatoes

another little hungover adventure...

The last time I did this track was in 2019, so what an absolute pleasure it was to do this track again and remember why I enjoyed it so much the first time. Definitely a 'pick your own adventure', can even go out all the way to Nepean River. A quick way to cool down in the summer and have a place all to yourself. Also did you catch that deceptive little legless friend? thanks as always for taki...
knackered...

wow, it has been a hot minute since I've last been to Faulconbridge (almost a year)! This ended up being a monster 20 km hike (monster for me anyway...) starting from Grose Rd and ending at the Grose river. After turning off the main fire trail and heading down the river, the start of the real knackering began... Honestly I found this a lot more challenging on the way up, just the constant asce...

hey everyone! finally got around to the widely popular Minne Ha Ha Falls in the Blue Mountains. What an absolutely stunning set of falls that doesn't take very long to get to at all. Took a little detour off the main path on the way there so spent a little longer along the creek. Some amazing little offshoots to smaller sets of falls. Definitely a hot spot for the upcoming summer, and definitel...

A little late to the party on this gorgeous set of falls, but no better way to beat the crowds than to check it out on a Sunday afternoon in the middle of winter... If you recall from a video end of last year, I only reached the falls halfway along the track to these falls, so am happy to finally see what all the fuss is about! Kangaroo Creek Falls is an incredible set of falls with a nice deep...
a nice hungover stroll…

hey everyone, thanks for stopping by! Today we're in Hornsby and tackling the Blue Gum Walk, part of the Great North Walk. Starting off at Rosemead Road, this track had a wonderful array of sights from creeks to lush green views, ferns and stunning rock overhangs. This track was done at a very lesiruely stroll being a tad hungover but was so happy to have gone outside and done this walk. Highly...

Back in the Blue Mountains baby! I took a short escape up to the mountains for the long weekend and on the afternoon of arrival, hiked to Hanging Rock and Baltzer Lookout. I can't remember the last time I've started a hike in the afternoon, but if I can do it again, I sure will. The mountains during golden hour is insane. Adventure from the 10th June, 2024 in Blackheath. Shot on gopro.

hey everyone, how are we all doing?! It's been almost a year since last visiting Ku-ring-gai Chase NP and tackling another hike here brought me so much joy. Got a different view of Lovett Bay with this track compared to the Towler's Bay track. Incredible view points and an incredible set of falls. Next time I'd like descend along the falls and explore that further. Lunch: ◑ semi-dried tomatoes ...

The jaw dropping Ha Giang loop. There's no better way to see it than on two wheels (don't tell my dad). Please enjoy! This also wraps up the Vietnam gopro footage. I hope you've enjoyed the little series. Done with yesd tours. Mr Hoa and Mr Thang were the absolute best. 3 day 3 night tour over the 4th to 6th of January 2024. Shot with gopro.

A little bit more of beautiful Vietnam to share! Please enjoy... Shown here are Sa Pa, Ha Long Bay and Nha Trang. From the north to central vietnam. Adventure over early January 2024. Shot on gopro and iPhone.

silly me thinking that the walk down to Kangaroo creek would be all flat and smooth sailing. A challenging but brief descent down to Kangaroo Creek from where parked in Heathcote and a short walk along the creek brings you to this absolute cracker of a swimming spot. Kangaroo Creek is definitely Royal Nasho's answer to Glenbrook Creek in the Blue Mountains. It was an absolute joy to dive into t...
a waterfall, mushrooms and many leeches...

wow, this was an enjoyable walk! A variety of different terrain kept this walk to the unnamed waterfall really interesting. The multitude of leeches were a bit unwelcome (had to be on watch at the waterfall, they seem to appear from no where), however the many different types of mushrooms along the way were a delight to see. Can you help me with the following? ◑ where to get good long hiking pa...

Here's just a glimpse of Cao Bang, a northern province in Vietnam that borders with China. In two days, we saw some incredible landscapes. So much more to share of Vietnam over the coming weeks (optimistic, more like months). We had timed visitng Cao Bang to be just before new years day, so everywhere was a little busy, especially Ban Gioc waterfall which was pretty hectic with the locals visit...

okay yay, we have resumed regular programming for 2024! this time, we skipped the usual Empire Pass track and heading direct to Frederica Falls via Frederica Falls trail. Man, if this isn't a lesson to always wear long pants on an unfamiliar track, I'm not sure what is. The razor grass was relentless through this overgrown trail. Some cute mushies along the way was brief respite. Unfortunately ...

a belated happy new year to you all! hope you are all having a wonderful start to the new year and that February keeps it going. We are slowly recovering from our 3 week holiday in Singapore and Vietnam and the gopro backlog is only just getting looked at now, oops... Here is a glimpse of the spectacular cloud forest in Gardens by the Bay, Singapore as my way of saying hello for the new year. T...

Bit of history - the duck hole was used to pump water up to the trains back in the days of steam locomotives. There are still some remnants of the pipes and concrete pads for the pumps to be found if you hunt around the bushes long enough.
amazing, thanks so much for sharing! I’ll definitely have to explore the area a bit more when I’m down next.
Thank you for sharing
thanks for taking the time to watch ☺️
Hi Ami , i am ricky from sydney .its nice to meet you here in RUclips lol....I love adventures like you . Solo adventure thats what i am going to do in the coming furure but have lack of experience and so is confidence. Any advice ?
Hey Ricky ☺️ Going solo can always be a little daunting, especially trying new tracks. I’d definitely recommend starting off with more popular walks local to you and seeing what you’re comfortable with. As with anything, it will get better when you do it lots.
@@adventureswithamye thank you for your suggestions , really appreciate 🙂
let me know how it all goes ☺️
@@adventureswithamye sure I will 😊
That is a pretty decent walk. I used to live at Lawson and did plenty of bush walks but that was before smart phones and RUclips.
hey Steven, wow that would have been awesome to have been so close to some amazing walks.
@@adventureswithamye yeah not to shabby when you like hiking in the Aussie bush. :)
Spectacular falls and beautiful scenery.
yes, and not a difficult one to get to. I can see why it’s so popular!
@@adventureswithamye Easy is always more popular 😄
I love Vietnam!
It’s incredible, I still have so much to explore!!
Great walk
This came up in my recommended videos, RUclips is currently trying to push smaller channels. Yay! That is a good looking park, and hiking and hangovers are not a good combination 🙃
ah, happy it popped up and thanks for taking the time to watch 💛 yes, a lesson learned!
So pretty !
yes, and peaceful!
The Sydney environment is wonderful....sorry you suffered a hangover.......outch.
yess- some really diverse landscapes!! haha, a product of my own actions…
bombs away, ha ha ha....great video, the Royal NP is awesome, thanks for sharing 🙂 Good luck with your adventures and your channel, I know how much effort you must be putting in, happy to be subscriber #18✌🏻
Legend! Appreciate the kind words and thanks for coming along ❤️ how good is Royal NP.
This deserves more attention!
Appreciate the love 🥰
There is a lot of history that you can find within the Sassafras Gully trail area. Everything from the Paddy memorial carving to the Ye Olda Fountaine thats still flowing out of a rock. Psalm Rock is also a good thing to see.
Ah, definitely need to explore the area more and read some older guides/maps on the area. I’ve seen Psalm Rock on a map and walked near it along Glenbrook Creek but wasn’t 100% on what I was meant to be looking at. The others sound unfamiliar, will add it to my list for this year! Thank you for sharing.
I've made a few historical videos on my RUclips channel. My favourite is the Faulconbridge Sawmill site. By the way, would you know where Strattons Amphitheatre is in the Sassafras gully area? I will be bush bashing it again to find it this Saturday. If I find it early enough I will try to find the 90yr old cross made out of rocks.
Unfortunately I’m not sure. Seems to be located along a creek but not clear which track to take. Good luck this Saturday! Hope you find it.
@@adventureswithamye I've been sent detailed directions of where it is. I'm also going to check out where the names have been carved into the rocks along the Magdala track and then find the small dam that was built in the early 1900s up above springwood falls.
how did the Saturday end up going? ☺️
So pretty and peaceful!! I love the view of the trees from the lookout. What was the temperature like? I always forget that summer is starting now for people in the south haha...hello from chilly iceland!
Hello! The views are amazing. Yes, a lot warmer than the northern hemisphere right now 😅 Was probably in the mid 20s but the water is still chilly.
❤
Really enjoyed the video Amy. Have subscribed in support! We know how hard it can be to produce good content and get your YT off the ground. Going through it ourselves. Keep up the good work!
thanks for taking the time to comment! appreciate the support 💛
Quality looks great , is it a gopro?
thanks Tommy! yep, shot on a gopro hero8 black
