A day to explore Sydney at your leisure. Take the climb to the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, explore the famous Opera House, or wander around the historic precent ‘The Rocks’.

This morning, collect your vehicle and journey west towards the world heritage Blue Mountains region. On the way stop at Featherdale Wildlife Park to see native koalas and hand feed kangaroos.

Welcome to a natural wonderland where you can explore one-million-year-old valleys, traverse underground cave systems, and meet the famous Three Sisters. Head to Scenic World where you will have a chance to ride the world’s steepest incline railway and take in the spectacular rainforest views from a cable car. There are plenty of walking trails and townships to explore, including Katoomba and Leura, both are well known for their specialty shops and excellent dining.

DAY 3: Blue Mountains to Hunter Valley

Take the scenic route along the historic Bells Line to your next destination Hunter Valley, one of Australia’s famous wine regions. Over 120 wineries are dotted throughout the rolling green hills, and many offer cellar door tastings. In addition to the fabulous wineries there are plenty of great restaurants, galleries, and local producers selling handmade cheese and olive oil. You may like to join a wine tour and visit one of the wineries or for the more active, hire a bicycle and meander along the quiet country roads.
