This week we’re looking at the classic drive between Sydney and Brisbane, which is littered with attractions and destinations. We’ll take you on a journey north up the coast from Sydney and build you a journey itinerary to Brisbane that ends with a bang.
There are 900 kms of coastal road separating Brisbane and Sydney containing arguably the biggest and best sights in Australia. Valleys, beaches, towns and history are waiting for you along the way.
One
Start your journey by taking in the
beauty of the MacMasters or
Copacabana beaches off the Central Coast.
Two
Move onward to hours and hours of
wine tasting in the Hunter Valley, or take the high
road over the valley with a hot air balloon ride.
Three
Bent On Food cafeTake on Manning Valley next to enjoy
the award winning Cafe
– Bent On Food.
Four
Big Banana – Coffs Harbour
Coffs Harbour isn’t too far away from Manning containing
Dorrigo National Park and the Big Banana. You’ll
also find nice and peaceful eateries that are
sure to help you relax and ease into the middle of
your trip.
Five
Crystal Castle and Shambhala Gardens
Just two hours away from Coffs lies Byron Bay,
a laid back town with a hippie reputation. It has a
host of surrounding national parks (Boatharbour
Nature Reserve and Nightcap National Park among
them). A must-see is the Crystal Castle and Shambhala
Gardens for fantastic crystal displays and sculptures.
Six
Nature Bridge
Last but far from least, The Gold Coast awaits.
Once of the top Australian travel
destination, The Gold Coast is home to many theme
parks and a beautiful beach, this is a great last stop
if you’re driving FROM Sydney with holidays on your
mind. Don’t just spend your whole time in queues
at the parks though. You can also enjoy surf
schools or visit the nearby Currumbin for its wildlife Sanctuary and nature bridge and
rainforest ciricuit.
Take a ride with us along this route so you can see the sights!
