Introducing South Coast
If it’s off-road rugged beauty you’re after, point the compass squarely in this direction. The spectacular and nonchalant South Coast, stretching 400km by road to the Victorian border, remains a parallel universe to its rowdy northern counterpart. Sure there are holiday-hectic beaches, like Wollongong, Kiama and Ulladulla, but they’re tempered by the quiet, easy allure of fishing towns like Eden and Batemans Bay and the sharp tang of history wafting from settlements like Berry. By detouring, often only slightly, off the main roads into the staggeringly beautiful national parks, it’s possible to find secluded beaches, remote mountain tops and rugged bushland where isolation reigns supreme. Wineries have spread their green leaves over the countryside and sea-changing city chefs have transported their culinary expertise here. Ecotourism is definitely in, and there are myriad swimming, surfing, whale-watching and diving opportunities.
