Do they have any maps showing the less-traveled trails in the reserve?

Badangi Reserve

A day exploring the official paths of Badangi Reserve, beautiful but I glimpsed hidden trails. Worried about getting lost if I explored them without a proper map. Saw lots of kookaburras

Honestly, finding detailed maps of unofficial trails in any reserve is a crapshoot. Park rangers usually aren't keen on publicizing them – safety concerns and all that. Your best bet is probably scouring online hiking forums or Facebook groups focused on Sydney bushwalking. People who regularly explore Badangi might have shared some info, or at least some general directions. Failing that, a very detailed topographic map of the area (you can probably find one online) might give you a sense of where less-used tracks might be, but there's no guarantee, and relying on that alone would be risky. Those kookaburras are cool though. Good luck!

Belgian Beer Cafe Mystery

Belgian Beer Cafe

So I'm heading to the Belgian Beer Cafe near the city centre next week. I've heard tales of their extensive beer list – legendary, some say. But I’m a bit of a lightweight. Is there a way to sample… more

Yeah, the Belgian Beer Cafe is fancy, I get it. But don't sweat it. They're usually pretty chill. Most places like that have half-pints or smaller pours, so you could totally do a little tasting tour without getting smashed. Just ask your server – they'll know what's good and can definitely steer you towards some smaller options or even a sampler. Or, better yet, just pick a few that sound interesting and ask for a taste before committing to a full glass. It's perfectly acceptable, especially on your first visit. You'll have a much better time exploring their awesome selection that way. Enjoy!
