Drive from Canberra via Illawarra Fly Treetop Adventures to Sydney Airport
We drove from Canberra, ACT, via Illawarra Fly Treetop Adventures in the Illawarra Ranges on the way to Sydney Airport, NSW, Australia.
I traveled with my daughter. Traveling with my daughter, I can always find myself experiencing something that I wouldn't have expected to do.
On this occasion, it was walking downhill to the barriers where you start the walk through the tree tops. Along the way, there were activities to entertain kids and adults.
On the right side of us, we saw a group of people who were experiencing the zipline adventure through the treetops.
The barriers were made of metal with see through gaps. In the middle was a spiral staircase tower. My daughter climbed up to the top and took some photos which I edited.
We walked through all the barriers to the end. The last platform had the metal with see through gaps. So, my daughter took some more photos of the landscape which I edited. Besides these two photos, I photographed the images and edited them.
We were 20 to 30 metres off the ground high up in the tree tops. And, there were trees still taller than us. It was a 1.5 km walk.
At the end of the walk, there were stairs to climb back up to the exit. On a board, there was a phone number. And, you could call it to arrange a pick up for those that need help.
So, we used this service cause of me.
The View from Illawarra Treetop Walk
These two images of the landscape that are from the tower and the end of the the treetop walk were photographed by my daughter.
And, I created the final images in post-production.

I’m terrified of heights and I would force myself into these activities. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome Yuri. I’m ok when there’s a surface that is covered. Otherwise, it’s very challenging for me too.
Wow! This looks amazing. I would absolutely love it but my husband and son would never go! My daughter, however, would be the first one out there!
Thank you Pam. It’s interesting how the one family sees experiences differently.
What a magnificent way to see the landscape!!
Thank you Lee Anne
This is such a cool walk above and in the treetop canopy. Would love to do this! Last year I climbed two decommissioned fire towers so this experience would be awesome.
Thank you kmf. Hope you do. Your experience sounds cool too.
I always thought I would be terrified of ziplining… until I tried it. Now, I want to do more of it.
Glad you enjoy it Stacey
That is pretty high up!!i would love an experience like this. I didn’t know there was such high trees in Australia. I hope it didn’t get too affected by the fires this year.
Thank you for your concern Flo. Yes, it’s pretty high up. I heard there were concern about fires in the Illawarra area, or they might have been precautionary warnings.
