2Grab lunch at one of the many restaurants in Sydney.
3Explore Coxheath Hills Trails starting at 1588 Coxheath Road. This trail starts off with a fairly steep climb up a mountain face. Just over halfway up there is a nice waterfall and bench for you to catch your breath if needed. When you get to the top of the climb, take a left and head toward Pitman Lodge where you can rest and warm by the woodstove. From here, you can take the North toward Pinnacle Lookoff and back to the cabin where you can backtrack down the main trail to your vehicle, making a 6 km route.
