It all depends on what you 'LIKE' and don't like.
Personally, from the Central Coast I'd suggest perhaps going up to the north coast a little way, perhaps right up towards the cape or perhaps Frazer Island (as you've got the camper trailer you can always set up a base came and enjoy Frazer and come back to base came each night).
Actually Frazer would probably be really nice for ya. It's somewhere I want to get to, so I'd recommend it (because then I could get feedback, hahaha).
You could always look at a trip across to Ayers Rock or something, but that'd take you 3 - 4 days each way (driving) so wouldn't leave a lot of time for anything but driving and a little bit of site seeing, though having a glass of your favourite while watching the sunset on your birthday would be a nice way to end the day.
Or perhaps try the south coast areas, the Great Ocean Road or something like that?
Mate, personally I remember my father taking me
camping for his birthday (it might
well have been his 50th as
well, I can't honestly tell you) and he and I went alone, we had a great day doing stuff, I had $100 saved up and wanted to get him a big cake and fill the tent with balloons.. I managed to lose the $100 and could only afford the balloons, so I filled the tent anyway, and then sat there crying because I couldn't afford to buy the cake for him!!! (I was only a
young'n at the time, can't even remember my age either).
To be honest, while 50 is a milestone, and congrats on reaching it and wanting to get out and do something (make SURE you go and do stuff instead of waiting and waiting some more), you can ALWAYS find things to do and enjoy even on the CC.
On a completely off-topic remark, do they still have the markets at Ettamalong? (I think that's where it was - I was only a kid last time I went there but I have many fond memories of going around the markets on the weekends and usually getting my mum's birthday presents there (my Mum died when I was 10 so you can imagine how
young I really was). Apart from passing through the coast on my way north from
Sydney back up to the Hunter I haven't been down there in years (though I now live in
Alice Springs, so very, very far removed from the
places I grew up).
Good luck on whatever you decide to do for your 50th. Please, please come back and post what you do on here and hey, share a bit of a story and some pics, it'd be great to know what you actually decided to do... :)
And Congrats on the birthday mate.
