Look at that and tell me you wouldn't want to relax there for a few days.

I must have missed that famous Newcastle nightlife when I was there a few weeks back ...

Did you miss the four corners special??
Not my sort of thing, but some people like drunken rages all night.

Jervis Bay is awesome. Any further South is just too cold. Kangaroo Valley is also OK.

I'm not sure there are too many places that are open all night in Newy. I did venture into Fanny's a few weeks back but it's a sh*thole (as I already knew).

I was in a nice bar earlier in the night but it closed at about 1. By 2 I gave up and drove back to Sydney so I could head out somewhere.

yeah - they have some lock down thing happening because of all the street crime - but if you want to be out after 2 am - get a job.

Why would you assume that I don't have a job Roopy?

Where's a good place no more than 3-4 hours out of Sydney to getaway for 3-4 days in July/August? Somewhere quiet, not looking to do stuff really, just relax in a peaceful setting with nice scenery and recharge.

On occasion I hire a houseboat. In Sydney I used to do it out of Brooklyn on the Hawkesbury. Spent a couple of days doing nothing other than fishing or reading, or partaking in other pleasures. Cheap enough and easy to do... plus a little different for the average land lubber.
I'm sure there's a few house boats down south as well.

That's all I can think off the top of my head right now.
