13 DAY TRIPS FROM SYDNEY FOR A WEEKEND GETAWAY

Once you’ve seen all the attractions in Sydney such as Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge, you shouldn’t just move on to the next stop. 

Be sure to spend a few days exploring the surrounding towns and regions in NSW. Here are some of our favourite spots… 

Blue Mountains

With over one million hectares of World Heritage-listed bushland and more than 140 kilometres of walking trails, the Blue Mountains is one of the most popular day trips from Sydney for nature lovers. 

Royal National Park

It offers great coastal and bush walks, picnic spots, camping, cycling, swimming, drives, fishing and whale watching in season. You can also paddle a canoe up the stunning Hacking River, which offers great views of the natural landscape. 

The Central Coast

One hour north of Sydney is our home town region of the Central Coast. This gorgeous coastline connects with the Pacific Ocean and is home to some of the best beaches in Aus. 

The Hunter Valley

The wine and food trail known as the Hunter Valley is one of our favourite wineregions in Australia. With over 140 wineries this is the place you want to go to sample some of Australia’s best wines. 

Kangaroo Valley

If you haven’t been to Kangaroo Valley yet, you should. The valley is as green as Ireland with Australian bush escarpments and wildlife (they have lots of koalas, wombats and kangaroos).
