Caves Beach has a network of sea caves that can be explored during low tide. I have seen a lot of beautiful photos of this place and I wanted to see it for myself. It is only about 1.5 hours drive from Sydney, east of Lake Macquarie. The caves are located on the south part of Hams Beach. There are plenty of parkings, BBQ/picnic facilities, toilets, shower, and kiosk close by.

After a week of heavy rain, I thought it would be a perfect time to visit some waterfalls. All the waterfalls and their lookouts were within a short walk from the car park.

The walk goes along the creek, through rainforest and eucalptus trees, which was really relaxing and calming. https://www.beyondtracks.com/walks/macquarie-pass-national-park/cascades-ra...
