The perfect circle out of Sydney. In your own time head for the Blue Mountains and stop ff in areas that the main tours do not go. This is an incredibly beautiful wilderness a stone's throw from Sydney and a complete contrast. It was the Blue Mountains that stopped the early settlers going inland, they believed them to be impassable.
Then it is on to the multitude of wineries in one of the world's famous wine growng regions, the Hunter Valley. Thankfully you have a night stop so sampling the grape offering is unrestrained.
To finish off this perfect short self drive holiday in Australia, you stay at Port Stephens, where fabulous beaches and hidden bays are found. What a great little trip.

DAY 1 SYDNEY TO BLUE MOUNTAINS APPROX. 100km (62 miles)
Departing Sydney, head west for the Blue Mountains. The Blue Mountains, named for their distinctive blue haze, a result of eucalyptus oil evaporating from millions of gum trees, have long been a popular holiday destination and are a natural wonderland of untamed bush, spectacular rock formations and native wildlife. This is one of the most spectacular and captivating wilderness parks in the country, and a supreme example of Australia’s diversity.
ACCOMMODATION: BLUE MOUNTAINS – 1 NIGHT
DAY 2 BLUE MOUNTAINS TO HUNTER VALLEY APPROX. 236km (148 miles)
Enjoy the great scenery that New South Wales has to offer as you head to the wine region of the Hunter Valley. The neat, rolling vineyards of Pokolbin are home to some of Australia’s most famous wineries and restaurants. There are over 70 wineries welcoming visitors, each with its own character. Some of the scenic backroads lead to delightful restaurants with culinary treasures, served with plenty of Hunter hospitality. You can tour the wineries and restaurants by horse and carriage, Harley Davidson Motorcycle, bicycle, horse, or your own car. You can even soar high over the patterned fields in a hot air balloon.
ACCOMMODATION: HUNTER VALLEY – 1NIGHT
DAY 3 HUNTER VALLEY TO PORT STEPHENS APPROX. 106 km (66 miles)
Head to the coast and the safe swimming beaches and seafood restaurants of Port Stephens. We recommend a boat cruise to see the wild dolphins.
Port Stephens is the collective name for the port and the peninsula. The giant scoop of Port Stephens is a natural aquatic playground. Bottlenose dolphins in the bay, fabulous seafood, great diving right off the beach at Nelson Bay, a choice of bay or ocean beaches that range from superb to splendid - this is a barefoot paradise, as the holiday crowds testify!
Port Stephens, known as the Blue Water Wonderland, is a natural bay two and a half times the size of Sydney Harbour and almost enclosed by two dormant volcanic headlands. The sparkling blue water is edged by native bushland, sheltered white beaches and small fishing villages. The Visitors Centre in Nelson Bay, the major town in the Port Stephens area, can provide information on local touring.
ACCOMMODATION: PORT STEPHENS – 1 NIGHT
DAY 4 PORT STEPHENS TO SYDNEY APPROX. 210km (131 miles)
Take some time to explore the magnificent bays and beaches before you depart Port Stephens. Head back south passing through the fantastic Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park before arriving in Sydney.
