More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You leave Sydney before dawn and the city’s hum thins to a ribbon of road. Salt wind arrives first at Kiama—spray from the blowhole arcs skyward like the coast daring you to look up. Later, white sand in Jervis Bay feels cool underfoot and dolphins thread the channels, curious and quick; inland, Kangaroo Valley unfolds in green folds, the old wooden Hampden Bridge marking human history in a landscape of slow rivers and sheep-grazed hills.
