Best Sydney driving roads
Sea Cliff Bridge on Grand Pacific Drive
Savour a journey along the NSW South Coast by cruising the 140km Grand Pacific Drive. It’s like a moveable lookout guiding you through lush rainforests, gorgeous coastal towns, and across the famed Sea Cliff Bridge jutting dramatically over crashing waves.
Bells Line of Road
A wild canopy of sassafras and coachwoods will be your roadside companions through Blue Mountains National Park — a UNESCO World Heritage-listed region. The one-hour Richmond to Lithgow route also passes the carefully manicured grounds of the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden.
The Legendary Pacific Coast Drive
This route technically takes you across state borders to Brisbane, but it also offers plenty of shorter road trip ideas from Sydney. Look out for dolphins and whales as you cruise for three hours towards Port Stevens, stopping to surf sand dunes and swim at small town surf spots.
