The enticingly named Waterfall Way is your highway to heaven. You want to hang a left off the Pacific Highway at a spot called Raleigh – just past Nambucca, but south of the Coffs Harbour motor inn muster.
Daydreams
MANAR PARK, QLD
Manar Park is a sunny state 4WDing purist’s paradise. Right on the border of South Burnett and North Burnett, the expansive offroad playground is set across a 15,000-acre cattle station.
KING ASH BAY, NT
King Ash Bay is a remote fishing camp located in Borroloola, on the banks of the McArthur River. It’s a mission to get to get out here, but that’s why the fishing is still so amazing.
FITZGERALD RIVER NP, WA
Fitzgerald River National Park is a little slice of sandy perfection wedged midway between Albany and Esperance, 460km southwest of Perth.
HAWKS NEST, NSW
Hawks Nest can be reached in less than three hours from Sydney’s CBD. It’s postcard perfect plus it boasts a tidy beach run, bountiful fishing opportunities, a handful of campsites and a couple of knockout bushwalks. What more could you ask for?
YEAGURUP, WA
Yeagurup’s a bumper spot for time-poor Perthlings to escape to for a quick hit of proper offroading. You’re looking at tackling a 330km stretch of highway heading due south from the city to reach your destination.
