Come for a hike with me and Laura for a thru-hike on a beautiful Australian beach. We visit beaches and rocky headlands and the rains come and go. We find a beautiful stop to set up camp and watch the sunrise, before continuing our journey south under the towering sea cliffs, walking on the rock shelf at low tide.
Yuin Country is simply magnificent, I love the Australian NSW South coast.
This was one of my favourite sections of the Great South Coast Hike - when I hiked 700km from Sydney, along the NSW coast to Mallacoota in Victoria.

You have no idea how inspiring your adventures are! Planning my first ever overnight solo hike at 40 years old, and watching you out there has given me the inspiration I needed to get out there and see Australia on foot. Thank you!
Omg yes this is gold. Thanks so so much for letting me know. Sing out if you have any questions. I tend to prefer camping away from car camping sites when solo. Enjoy and happy hiking
@@KateGrarock Thank you! Joined a few fb hiking groups and hoping to do lots of little day day walks/hikes around my area to get my navigation and fitness up a little and start collecting some gear. Hopefully when spring gets closer I can take myself to explore Bunyip state park and Wilsons Prom and do a few overnights.
And if that goes well spring 2023 really want to take some time and go visit Tasmania and knock out the Overland track! I've been up to Cradle mountain but would love to have the full experience.
As for questions, are there any overnight hikes in Victoria that you'd recommend for a newbie like myself?
@@Gpots hello Yvonne! I couldn’t help noticing your comments and how similar they are to my own experience. I discovered hiking a few years ago and LOVE it, I thought I would suggest as a wonderful overnight hike in VIC is Mount Feathertop, you can hike it from Diamantina hut across the Razorback to Federation Hut, camp overnight and then make the summit up to Feathertop, it was one of my first hikes and was just the best experience. Good luck and best wishes 👏🏻
@@jessicahunt6214 thank you for that Jessica! I've seen that trial and it looks absolutely beautiful, the alpine/cold aspect is daunting (I'm always cold already haha) but I will learn to layer and will put it on my to hike list for sure!
Beautiful video, Kate. ❤️
Thanks sue. Thanks for making it happen.
Another top overnighter Kate, just love our South east coast, but how’s them leeches OMG.
It’s all so green now….. but just a little bit over the wet weather.
Just spent 4 days kayaking and camping up in the K valley, 4 days rain, 1 hour of sunshine I recon lol, was bloody awesome tho.
Love the walk backs at the end, I reckon you would have some awesome bloopers 😉 cheers Debs
Haha thanks mate. Yes so many bloopers hahaha. Oh nice kangaroo valley is so beautiful. But yep nice to get a bit more sunshine. Hope you are well
How peaceful!
Thanks Amanda
What an amazing Country we live in.
It certainly is. Cheers mate
Great job Kate. Love your attitude. Suffer for a view. Glad I found your channel. Happy hiking
Haha absolutely mate. Thanks for watching and happy hiking to you
Great walk/camp (minus those leeches -eek!). I took the whole of Yr 9 on the reverse of that walk back in the day, and I did NPWS walks at Depot and Pebbly - great geology!
Amazing Ingrid, what a cracking spot hey. LOVE the geology. Hope you are well
Despite the fact leaches are always sooo happy to see me, waving excitedly etc, I can't say the feeling is mutual.
Haha absolutely mate
Thoroughly enjoying your adventures and positive spirit. Never forget your Happy Place, from a gal living the van life.
So good absolutely agree. Thanks mate happy travels to you.
Another great installment of your adventures, thanks 🙏
Thanks rob. Was a cracker. Hope you are well
Kate! This one looks so stunning! And the seal!!! 10/10
Thanks so much jimmy. Really appreciate it. We both thought it was a bear for some reason
@@KateGrarock of course. A sea bear. Makes total sense ;)
Looks like it was a great overnighter. Love all those waterfalls cascading off the cliffs from the rainfall. Beautiful bit of coastline through there.
It was an absolute cracker thanks mate. Hope you have some good adventures planned.
@@KateGrarock just got back a couple of weeks ago from thru-hiking the Grampians Peaks Trail. Highlights video of that just got posted the other day if you want to check it out.
So cool. Will check it out. I bloody love the Grampians
Your vids are getting better and better Kate, this one is a real corker, right into the core of South coast NSW. Watching those waves break over the rocks I could smell that strong salty fresh air - beautiful, brought back so many of the thoughts from my early life in Oz. Nice to see Laura take a very active role in this vid as well Kate, reinforces what its like a have a good mate with the same attitude on life. Mate spray all your gear with Pyrethrum including daks, socks, pack and tent and forget about leeches, mossies and other crawlies. I dunno about Oz spiders but it deters the spiders here in the Cambodian bush.
Thanks a lot Col. Yes trying to improve the quality so it’s great you noticed. And nice tip on treating my gear. I just purchased some for my next adventure. Cheers
Always stoked to see your name pop up, video was awesome mate, thank you so much keep them coming. The leeches gave me a shiver but, like stepping on slug walking out to the garage in the dark with no shoes on. Ray.
Haha thanks Ray.
Thanks Kate, loving the content especially the vid’s when you share your knowledge of our beautiful flora and fauna!
Thanks so much mate. I really appreciate it. I can’t wait to get back on the trail.
@@KateGrarock went for a day hike Upper Colo last weekend Thankfully unscathed and as beautiful as ever!
@@danielthiele2740 amazing I have to get up there one day. It looks epic
Love the opening song. Had a chuckle when you came across the kangaroos, they were looking at you like ‘what the hell do you want.?’ lol. The South Coast track looks amazing, putting it on my bucket list
Thanks mate. Haha yes the kangaroos are so cute. It’s an amazing trail. Happy hiking to you
Hi Kate, came across your videos yesterday and started watching, especially the gear and food.
I have watched a lot of videos, as myself and 3 woman fly out to New Zealand in 4 months to walk the 65 days 1600klms of the North Island TA hence the desire to learn, a lot. I have found your videos to be fantastic with great knowledgeable content, great camera work and background, looking forward to trying the Radix meals.
After watching your videos yesterday I emailed the link to the girls and I kept having the thought "there is something different about your videos" yesterday I was fully concentrated on your content but today I realized its who you are Kate. Who would not be enriched by coming in contact with someone so positive, enthusiastic, inspiring and knowledgeable and always has a smile waiting to break out. Thank you Kate, looking forward to watching all your videos.
Alan what a beautiful comment to read. Thanks so very much for the feedback. Comments like these inspire me to keep plugging away with the videos. So good to know there are people getting good info from the vids. Thanks a bunch and hope you love the radix and enjoy the TA
Awesome video Kate! So beautiful.
Thanks for making it so fun mate
Hi Kate. My friend and I have been watching your videos lately - we’re working up to our first overnight hike in a similar area to where you filmed this. Thanks for being inspirational and providing handy tips.
Amazing mate. Thanks for the message this is exactly why I love sharing these videos. Best of luck with your first hike. It’s a great area for a first hike. Days aren’t too long. Safe travels. Let me know how it goes.
@@KateGrarock Hi Kate. We just completed our first overnight hike! Mystery Bay to Bermagui. It was awesome. A few hiccups but nothing disastrous and some hilarious moments. With a few tweaks to our gear we’ll be ready to do another one. Thanks again for all your tips and videos - you have no idea how many times we said ‘Kate said’ or ‘Kate uses’ or ‘Kate has’. You’ve been a great help. Thank you!
@@nataliefairweather3339 amazing mate congratulations. Sounds like a ripper hike. I’m still tweaking my gear after many many hikes. I think that’s half the fun hey. Never stop learning. Happy hiking to you.
Great adventure.
Thanks a lot 😀
Keep on going with those great videos.
Thanks mate. I hope to get back out there soon.
Hey there my friend! Another excellent video from you. Beautiful coastal hike and you can't beat those tent sites. Leeches, yikes!~RVA~
Haha thanks heaps mate. It was a cracker. You look like you have been having fun. Hope you are well
@@KateGrarock Yes having a blast and still making videos. So much to see and do, so little time!
@@RVAHikerGirl hahaha. Absolutely
I love hiking and I really enjoyed your video, sists.... Say Hi from Hong Kong 💕
Thanks mate hi from Australia. Thanks for watching
What a beautiful hike! And your filming is just stunning. Thanks again, Kate.
Thanks so much Angelica! Hope you are well.
Glorious. Adored the scenery, wildlife and of course the flora and wild weather. Thanks for taking me along via your video!
Thanks Fiona hope you are doing well.
Great video. I love this coastline. Your footage of the area is beautiful and brought me back. Thanks heaps!
Thanks for watching mate. Love your work.
What a ripper! Such beautiful scenery. Gotta love our big wide land!
Gotta love it. Thanks for watching. Happy hiking
Awesome! So glad you were able to get out and enjoy an o'night hike. Never before heard/seen Goose Barnacles - so Wow!
The seal and those pretty amazing little waterfalls. DO NOT like leeches! No, just NO! LOL And yep on the walk backs... Haha.
Loving my Radix meals especially the Grain fed Lamb dinner and the Mixed Berry Brekky.
Thanks for sharing - Cheers
Haha omg thanks mate that's my first custom emoji use I think, cheers. So glad you are loving the Radix - they are pretty great. Thanks so much for the support and hope you are planning your next adventure
Lovely trail and very pleasant walk. Wonderful views and your music makes the hike seem effortless.
Haha how good is the music. Thanks for watching
Great little film - looks like a magic place. Well done 👏, really enjoying your channel! I'm keen to do a little section of that hike, down near the VIC border. Could you do a short review on your pack - looks awesome. Cheers
Thanks mate. Yes the nadgee section is bonkers good. Oh yes the pack is atom packs (a lockdown purchase) been loving it and yes will have to do a review one day. Thanks for watching.
Good one Kate! Such a beautiful coast line. I love drifting off to sleep listening to the surf breaking, what a great camp site you had. Shame about those leaches.. I hate those things. I love hiking in Australia but NZ has the advantage of no leaches! (or snakes, or spiders, etc)
Thanks mate. Oh gosh I didn’t realise they didn’t have leeches either. What a great place to hike. I should get over there one day. Hope you are well mate
A great hike Kate, you earned a beer on that one! nice footage for us to enjoy, well done to you and Laura 👍
haha thanks mate. A rare hike without beer hey. But yes I did enjoy one when we got home - thanks to you. Cheers mate
Gorgeous ❤️ I am building up to do my first overnight hike. Your videos are so inspiring and my kids love watching them too 😁
Oh thanks so much for letting me know. Makes me so happy to know this. Also so glad I turned down the swearing for the PG viewing 😀
Awssome.
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi great Vids. Can you tell me how to get to the Ettrema Tops trail and carpark, can't find anything on the web.
Thanks mate. If it’s the area I’m thinking of it’s on a road called Greta road. There is a good firetrail there but I haven’t done much in there since the fires so the regrowth might be getting epic. Happy hiking
Absolutely loved this video. So enjoy seeing your name pop up and seeing what you’ve been up to.
Just curious…. So many vloggers are incorporating music in their videos. As much as I may enjoy their music choice…. What happened to just the music of the waves, the birds, running water, listening to the person breathe as they scale that mountain. LOL. I escape the ‘noise’ of society by watching you and others. You are my escape Just my thoughts
Thanks mate. Yes I do agree it is a delicate balance one I'm still trying to find. I'd love to do a vid with no music but truth be told I'm probably banging on in the background so I do use a bit of music to drown out the chatter. But yep agree sometimes nature does it best
Hi Kate, what is the food bag that your friend is using? Thanks. Love the videos ❤️
Thanks a lot. Is that the food she is eating from or did she have a separate bag. If it’s the pouch it’s Radix Nutrition bit.ly/3SgKWg7 I was eating the same but mine were the older style without the pretty pictures. I’m a big fan of radix. They don’t use preservatives so they don’t upset my tummy and I think they actually taste great too. Full disclosure they gave me a voucher for like $100 bucks free food. But this was only after a fell in love with them and did a video on how much I liked their food.
@@KateGrarock thanks Kate, it’s definitely on my list to try. 🤤 i meant the bag that she stored her food in. What do you use to keep the mice out on overnight hikes?
@@yellowbrickroad3592 oh geese sorry no idea. I just use a plastic bag. But wanna upgrade to one of those ultralight bags one day. I’ll ask Laura when I see her next. She is off hiking the alpine trail. Also I think I bang on about radix so much they gave me a discount code if you need KATEHIKE
Are you shooting all your videos on the DJI Pocket?
Mostly on my iPhone 11 with DJI gimbal. Unfortunately the pocket has a lower resolution but I use it a bit.
