The idyllic Central Coast, just to the north of Sydney, is a haven of beautiful beaches, tranquil waterways and lush hinterland stretching from the Hawkesbury River to Lake Macquarie. In the splendid national parks, enjoy bushwalking, mountain biking, surfing and watersports like stand-up paddle boarding.
Other fun adventures include fishing, boating and whale watching. There's skydiving and scuba diving as well. You can take the kids to the TreeTop Adventure Park and go horseriding in the Glenworth Valley. And how about meeting the friendly (and deadly) animals at the Australian Reptile Park?
