The Clare Valley is a pretty pocket of South Oz’s famous wine country, and a weekend spent out this way is inevitably a very good time.
Daydreams
CAMDEN HAVEN, NSW
Camden Haven is 360-odd clicks up the Pacific Highway from Sydney and well within range for a quick weekend blast up the coast for city slickers.
LAKE MUNGO, NSW
While Mungo National Park lays clearly on New South Welsh soil, it’s a favoured option for Melbournian offroaders attempting to score a proper weekend outback getaway.
LITCHFIELD NP, NT
Litchfield National Park lays 120km southeast of Darwin, access is via Batchelor and the road in is fully sealed
TURON RIVER, NSW
The Turon River cuts through dense bushland near Capertee. It’s a little past the Blue Mountains and just 180 clicks outta Sydney.
CARNARVON GORGE, QLD
Carnarvon National Park is a bona fide red dirt oasis that looks like a theme park constructed for landscape photographers.
