Sideney - Vic .. via coast

G'Day Rosco,

Will try to check with a few mates who go up there a bit fishing.

Now, the real reason for my interlude - you wouldn't happen to have a pic of the dual battery system in the 'Fender you could pass on. Have lots of info but pic would make it all come together

Regards

Rolande

Sydney to Foster, if you go via the highway is not a real long drive. Maybe 4hours but probably more like 3.

If you want to stop and look at things it could be a very long drive. I would recommend that you have a look around Newcaslte. The closure of the steel mills has meant the place has cleaned up a lot in the last 15 years and the beaches just south of the river are beautiful. Also go over to Stockton and have a look at the beach and the wreck of the Sigma. You need a permit to drive this part of the coast but you can pick one up near the entry point to the beach. (Servo at the big roundabout)

There are nice CV parks in the Port Stephens area. Have stayed a few times at Middle Rock CP it was very nice and just a walk over the dunes to the beach. Hallifax Point is also very nice.

You can also drive sections of the beach north from Tea Gardens and there is a nice drive up between Miall Lakes and the coast, although it used to be a bit rough and there was talk of it closing. Someone more local than me may have more recent info.

You have picked one of the busiest times to visit this area. It's a pitty you won't have the peace and quiet that used to be available in the area outside peek times. It may all be peek times now.

Hi Rosco, it’s a long drive down the coast to Vic and if you want to do some site seeing it would probably be worth your while to make two overnight stops.

There's lot to see and plenty of interesting towns to go through.

You can leisurely make Ulladulla for lunch on the first day and then start your site seeing from there.

With the exception of Kiama, which is now bypassed, and Berry, it’s pretty ordinary along the hwy between Sydney and Batemans Bay but from there on you can make a pig of yourself with things to see.

lots of little towns that are well worth stopping, at like Tilba Central and you’ll see the others as you go.

I hope you are going to take a run out to Wilson’s Promontoty while your at Forster. That is probably the highlight of the whole coast road.

Cheers and enjoy.
