Day 1.

Sydney to Katoomba (2 hours 130 km). After the buzz and excitement of Sydney, head to the Blue Mountains, named for their distinctive blue haze caused by oil evaporating from millions of gum trees, and home to over 1500 species of plants and plenty of birds and wildlife. There are several small attractive towns along the way and the area is well set up for visitors — it’s a favourite spot for Sydney ciders to get away to in the weekends. Go bushwalking, see waterfalls, visit the antique shops, take a rail car ride ride up the mountains or a horse trek.

Day 2.

Spend the day exploring the towns of Leura and Katoomba. Visit the Wentworth Falls and take a drive to the Jenolan Caves to see the limestone formations. Have a picnic lunch somewhere in the park, or in one of the many private gardens open to visitors, or perhaps a game of golf at one of the five courses in the area before returning to your accommodation.

Day 3.

Leaving the Blue Mountains area travel to the Hunter Valley wine region via the pretty towns of Richmond and Windsor to Cessnock (2 hours 160 km). The drive takes in some typical Australian countryside and you are likely to see some wildlife along the way. From here you can explore the Hunter Valley wine region.

Day 4.

Pick up a wine country map and visit the vineyards for tasting and purchasing wines — there are over 50 wineries in the lower Hunter region. There are also plenty of cheeses and other specialty foods available and some outstanding cafes, antique and craft shops. There are several festivals held throughout the year as well so you may get the chance to enjoy opera in the Vineyards, Art Festivals, Jazz in the Vines, Harvest or Budburst festivals (check with the local Tourist Information Services). Visit the towns of Scone, Maitland, Pokolbin, Broke and Kurri Kurri.

Day 5.

Cessnock to Port Stephens and Sydney via Pacific Highway (200 km 2.5 hours) Drive to Port Stephens and Nelson Bay where you can go on a dolphin watching cruise and visit a koala habitat. Return south to Sydney down the Pacific Highway.
