And what about nearer Sydney for day trips? I keep finding lots of 'recommeded' places to go but does anyone have any first hand experience?

Cheers!

South Coast;

Sussex Inlet , it's about 3.5 hrs drive , it's the place I'd go around this time of the year for fishing , Bream , Flatties etc..

Thanks for that! Any particular spots for fishing or camping down there you could suggest?

And any 4WD tracks?

Mungo Brush, it is at myall lakes at tea gardens. Nice place and they have facilities, it is a national park too. Also Lake st clair in the hunter valley is nice too. Alll around 2.5-3hrs away. or try Nords wharf at lake macquarie, mate lives there and we have fished there alot over the years.

Stockton Beach is good but you will need a Beach permit to get onto it. Also for good Drving there is Dungog and Glouster (spelling) They are nice and have waterfalls and chitester dam (spelling) is very good with plenty of facilities. All around the 3 hr mark.

But check out National parks about closures in all of these areas due to water and rains.

Cheers
