Where to go for first overnight hike (sydney)

I've gone car camping a fair few times over the years but i want to get into backpacking. I don't think ill go on any trips longer than 1 night, so mostly focussed on comfort rather than optimising weight

  1. Gear wise, im looking at the naturehike cloud up 2 pro (lighter than 1p cloud up base?)

  2. What's a cheap and comfy sleeping pad?

Ill make do with an old backpacking bag i have and sleeping bag, so thats big 4 sorted

I have some lightweight cooking setup and plan to bring water instead of having a water purifying system

  1. Whats the easiest/shortest overnight route for a first timer? Is there a short enough route that i could ideally day hike beforehand to familiarise myself with the route without bringing gear?

  2. How do people generally find new routes?

  3. Anything else i need?
