West Head and the surrounding trails and beaches are cool. Look out over Pittwater, Palm Beach, Central Coast and Lion Island. Nice walking trails down to secluded beaches and even some aboriginal carvings in rocks to check out too. Prob take 1.5 hrs from your area.

ol' mate Strider is gonna be busy if he takes our collective opinions onboard.

Im thinking about a 2hr drive,maybe a little more ... im starting from southern sydney, kogarah area - hence why ive gone south a bit

Patonga is also another nice destination. You could drive up to Palm Beach and hop on the ferry up to Patonga. Lunch at the Boathouse and then depending on how energetic you’re feeling you could do the Patonga to Pearl Beach bushwalk and back. Return to Palmy and either head home or if it’s nearing dinner you could book a reservation at Barrenjoey House (or Jonahs if you’re loaded)

I know of a motel in West Wyalong that gives you a free VB when you check in. Or maybe that was in Wagga. And it's probably six hours away or more. Still, free VB.

You make an excellent point.

Patonga is like Lara - lovely.

spot on. I think they should rename it.

If you've been driving for ten hours a VB seems like a red carpet.

A smart traveler would have taken their own pre-stocked esky.

I havent been to the megalong vally for a mega long time
Patonga sounds like a goer ... i think i ran over a lizard last time i was at palm beach. Oops.
I do like heading to the northern beaches cos its somewhere i dont get to much.
Mt Tomah sounds good. I went to windsor/Richmond a few weeks ago.

Spider bait are a truly woeful band.

Not as bad as Rockspiderbait.

Gets pretty windy and remote up that way.

Get yourself a 4WD and take the Peninsular Development Road up to Weipa. Great road to drive.

I watched an Origin match in Weipa in 2012. What a place.

In two hours you could probably make it to Avalon for a $17 sausage roll at one of the cafes there.

Road trip! Decided to hit the road north for a few weeks at the end of next week. Since it would be stupid to cross any borders under current circumstances, we're going to drive up to the Daintree....take our time, enjoy the reef and seafood. Mrs has never had coral trout so that's on the list. Reef time will be another. May as well do it before the scourge from the south gets here.

Coral trout is one of the best eating fish and its readily available up there

good move

Cooktown isn't exactly a tourist mecca but watch out for cassowaries

Mate, locals knowledge...I’ll send you to the best bakery in town. Only cost you $15 as well.
