The joy of having your own wheels is that you can go where you want, when you want. Make the most of your freedom by exploring all there is on offer in Newcastle. It’s just 40 miles away. Among your first few stops here ought to be Newcastle Beach, Charlestown Square and Nobbys Head Beach. Locals will also probably point you toward Scone, 45 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, let it be Scone Park. (But we’d also recommend Scone & Upper Hunter Historical Society Museum and Bill Rose Sports Complex.)
