Travel North to Sydney

The 5 day coastal drive between Sydney & Melbourne offers many fine experiences along the way, including Wilsons Promontory, Lakes Entrance, Shoalhaven and Batemans Bay. This is a part of Australia often overlooked by visitors, however for those who want to venture a little off the beaten track, you will be well rewarded. The scenery is great, the white sand beaches stunning, Australian wildlife and forest is on display and the people warm and welcoming.

'The Prom', as it is fondly called, is at the southern most point of mainland Australia. Renowned for its spectacular scenery, the 120,000 acre national park features magnificent and secluded beaches, cool fern gullies, great views, spectacular rock formations and an abundance of wildlife. The drive from the entrance of the park at Yanakie to Tidal River settlement is scenic and is well-signposted, with car parks, beaches and bushland accessible via side roads. However, the best way to enjoy the spectacular scenery is on one of the many walking trails throughout the peninsula.
