If you're looking for a challenging and unforgettable hike through some of the most beautiful terrain in Australia, then look no further than the Six Foot Track. This 44-kilometer trail winds through the stunning Blue Mountains, taking you from Jenolan Caves to Explorers Tree over the course of three exciting days.
