The white volcanic sand and aquamarine waters of Port Stephens offer the beach a tropical look. Less than an hour drive from Sydney, this region has become a very popular holiday destination of the central coast. This deep water port is two and a half times the size of Sydney harbour and surrounded by two volcanic headlands, sandy beaches and lush green bushland. Whether you are planning to holiday just the weekend or for a week a wide range of Port Stephens holiday accommodation can be pre booked.

The deep waters are ideal for boating, underwater diving and fishing. You could hire anything from a bicycle to a motor boat while you are in Port Stephens. Tour operators offer popular dolphin cruises and many site seeing charter cruises.

Port Stephens offers some well known cafes and restaurants and comfortable accommodation. If you are the adventurous type, then hit the 30km long Stockton Beach, where you can take a 4WD tour. You could also ride quad bikes or enjoy horse riding. The area is popular for its large coastal sand dune system.





Nelson bay, Fingal bay and Shoal bay are well known holiday spots in Port Stephens area. Fingal Bay is the most eastern township in Port Stephens. It is surrounded by a national park and has a majestic bay with a patrolled surfing beach. Fingal Bay is only five minutes from the heart of Nelson Bay and so close to Shoal Bay. Shoal bay occupies the southern headland of Port Stephens, flanked by Tomaree National Park and offers holiday makers the luxury of  both ocean and harbour beaches. Shoal Bay is a pristine sandy beach with cobalt blue waters and resident dolphin population.

Blue Mountains

The breathtaking Blue Mountains World Heritage Area consists of one million hectares of towering forests, sheer sandstone cliffs, tremendous canyons, cascading waterfalls and tranquil bushland. For more than a century the Blue mountains regions has been a favourite holiday destination for Australians and overseas tourists alike.

Do you know why the Blue mountains are so blue? The whole area is dense with Eucalypts, which constantly disperse fine droplets of oil into the atmosphere. These droplets cause the blue frequency of the Sun’s light rays to be scattered more effectively, causing distant objects to appear blue. The Blue Mountains national park which covers an area of 218,100 hectares, dense with Eucalypts is the fourth largest national park in NSW.

Enjoy the beauty of this spectacular region on a bushwalk along one of the many walking trails, mountain biking, rock climbing or by abseiling. The blue mountain region is filled with natural attractions like the spectacular Wentworth Falls and the Three Sisters, a trio of rocky outcrops; explore the underground rivers and awe-inspiring network that is Jenolan Caves; walk the historic Six Foot Track to Katoomba. Amongst all this natural beauty and breathtaking forest you can enjoy great cafes/restaurants, cosy accommodation to suite any budget. You could explore the work of well known artists and appreciate the world’s steepest railway while you are holidaying in this magnificent region.

 You could view the beauty of Three Sisters from Katoomba. Then visit Wentworth Falls, a picturesque 300 metre waterfall situated on the edge of the Jamison Valley. In Mount Tomah Botanic Gardens, you can step back in time with the Wollemi Pine, one of the world’s oldest and rarest plants. The Blue Mountains is a place to eat, drink and relax. Enjoy lunch in a cafe or dinner at one of the  fine dining  restaurants at the beautiful township of Leura. You could browse the galleries, boutiques and bric-a-brac stores during the day, enjoying a coffee or snack while your meander through the various souvenir shops.
If driving is what you enjoy, then take an adventure drive on the Greater Blue Mountains Drive which consists of trails that circle the 10,000 square kilometres of the Blue Mountains World Heritage area. If you want to add a little bit more flavour to your motorised journey, then take the Zig Zag Railway, which is a vintage steam train that follows the original line from Bell to Lithgow.
