Guest Mynoraxis Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 You can waste your time scouring through tourist brochures with photos of places that look too good than they actually are, or you can check out these places I highly recommend. * Nan Tien Temple - Berkley, Wollongong * Jervis Bay - Paradise/Place to relax, dive, fish, camp, etc. Must see! * Hyams Beach - Hyams Beach (Jervis Bay) - Whitest sand you'll ever see! Bring the sunglasses! * If you unfortunately get stuck in Nowra somewhere, the Nowra Animal Park is very tiny, but good place if you want to see some of the main native animals up close and feed them. We got a pic taken with a Koala, patting some Kangaroos, feeding some Emus etc. And it's not overcrowded like alot of zoos. * A couple great places for camping - Booderie National Park and further south, Pebbly Beach (don't leave your food outside or the kangaroos and possums will eat it at night and the goannas will during the day). For a more country-feel, Coolendel is a nice place away from everything - you can hire a canoe up the river, hear nothing but majestic peacocks during the day, have wombats feeding outside your cabin in the evening. So don't waste your time visiting silly places like Jambaroo and expecting it to be like Alton Towers, or Bondi Beach and seeing more people than the beach. These beauties I've recommended will make you proud you moved here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mynoraxis Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 About 2 and half hours south from Sydney depending on traffic conditions of course! Not hard to find though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
