Nature Trail denied trade by the NSW Government

NOTICE:  We wish to notify potential customers that since 2019, the local New South Wales Government has imposed mandatory lockdown restrictions upon our tour business ‘Nature Trail’.  For instance, for Nature Trail to legally take one (or none) single paying guest into a national park in NSW, our business upfront compliance overheads are AUD$5,500 per annum.

Such onerous governmental red tape costs continue to deny Nature Trail any viable opportunity to trade as a commercial tour operator into national parks in New South Wales.

Consequently, after much consternation, from 2025, with no hope of governmental flexibility toward startup businesses like ourselves, Nature Trail has pragmatically decided to strategically shift away from its tour business, to offering tour videos.

This means that we shall instead be focusing hereon on just filming our various tours and posting them on YouTube.

Nature Trail Films

Our most recent endavour is to start making films of our tours and other magazine topics concerning the Blue Mountains region. To this end, Nature Trail started by creating a new YouTube channel on 28th January 2025. Early days, with so far just one short simple experimental video while we were holidaying in Milford South New Zealand. Watch this space, however any new video we publish will be posted to the front page right-side column of Nature Trail's website - under this title: 'Nature Trail Films'.

Friends of Nature Trail

Friends of Nature Trail

We extend our gratitude to the Friends of Nature Trail for their individual support, giving up their personal time to participate pro-bono on our practice trips for each tour. It's so that we first test and finetune our tours to a high standard before offering a tour commercially.

On multi-day tours, we select the best of local stays direct.
