History, fine food and wine
THE
unspoilt natural beauty of the southern coastline of New South Wales
unfolds in a series of bays and coves. Little townships, many with
interesting histories, are known for their fine food and wines, and
great country markets. Superb local cheeses are a speciality.
Marine mammals take pride of place - pods of dolphins and migratory
whales cruise past secluded white-sand beaches, and Australian fur
seals thrive on Montague Island. There are two marine parks here - at
Jervis Bay and Batemans Bay.
Head south from Sydney through the Royal National Park and along the
Sea Cliff Bridge, a sinuously seductive road that is flanked by the
Tasman Sea on one side and the richly forested Illawarra escarpment on
the other.
Take in the expanse of Wadbilliga National Park - the largest undisturbed wilderness in New South Wales.
Take a dip in the pristine waters of Jervis Bay, stroll the old wharf
at Tathra and relax in romantic little hideaways. Discover the secrets
of Mystery Bay, Disaster Bay, Pigeon House Mountain and Mount Dromedary
as you head towards the fabulous Sapphire Coast, the gateway to Eden. |
