North Sydney
With the Pacific Ocean in the east Sydney, sightseeing motorist has a choice from the west, south and north of Sydney day trips.
The north, after leaving the city, one has a choice of three routes and three common destinations:
One, the poet Central Coast with its many beaches, such as Forrester, Avoca and Terrigal.
Two, the more Port Stephens and Nelson Bay.
Three of the Hunter Valley wine country.
Through parks and across the river
Can you on the Central Coast on one of Sydney day tours in just one hour or so, but it's always good to take your time and stop by a few places along the road.
Either the Cumberland or Pacific Highway, on to the Sydney-Newcastle Freeway at Wahroonga.
This will give you a quick clip north by forested national parks and on the Hawkesbury River.
Take the Gosford exit and the old Pacific Highway in the area was 28 years old Sydney Town as an historic amusement park. There had been reconstructed replicas of buildings as they were built in the early days of colonial Sydney.
The townspeople were dressed in the clothes of the period and there were some nice historical re-enactments. You could wander along the dirt-caked streets of long ago in Sydney and visit the old colonial stores.
Old Sydney Town closed on January 27, 2003.
No worries. You may instead prefer a close encounter with kangaroos and wallabies at the Australian Reptile Park near to have.
From here you can then proceed to Gosford Road and take the entrance to the beach and recreational areas in Avoca, Terrigal and MacMaster.
If you prefer, you can completely disregard the Central Coast (or save for another day) and proceed to Nelson Bay and Port Stephens.
Once at the Sydney Newcastle Freeway on the north edge of Sydney, it should take less than a few hours to Nelson Bay to reach.
If you wanted to stops along the way to Port Stephens Sydney on one of your trips, you should check out the map and what attractions are there in the habitat.
Both the Central Coast and Port Stephens areas naturally cater for water sports and recreational activities on the beach.
If you wanted something different, you can go to the Hunter Valley area …
The valley, often referred to simply as the Hunter, is a vast area of vineyards north of Sydney and west of Newcastle.
One way to reach the Hunter Valley from Sydney to the same Sydney-Newcastle Freeway from Wahroonga to be taken and the turn-off towards Cessnock Cessnock City, the heart of Pokolbin in the Hunter.
This is the land of vineyards and wineries, where some of the best wines come from Australia.
There are other attractions, of course, as the desert biking, traveling through the Clydesdale-drawn vehicles, horseback, helicopter flights.
But most visitors come to the Hunter Valley to visit the wine cellars and endless rounds of wine tasting, just as one would, I think, in the Napa Valley in California and in the vineyards of Europe.
There is much to learn about how wine is made and much to enjoy eating and drinking. And at the end of the day, one is reluctant to make the trip back home and spend more time in the Hunter, there are many places where you can spend the night.
