Located in the Hunter Valley region a couple of hours north of Sydney, Gloucester is a pretty spot within striking distance of the world heritage listed wilderness of the Barrington Tops National Park.
Daydreams
STURT NP, NSW
Sturt National Park is tucked away in the northwest of the state and recognised as the gateway to Cameron Corner – the meeting point of New South Wales, South Australia and Queensland.
NINGALOO REEF, WA
Ningaloo Reef collides with Cape Range National Park in an explosion of red desert dust, sublime turquoise currents and bone bleached sandy coves.
KAKADU NP, NT
Perhaps the Territory’s most well known attraction, Kakadu National Park is an international tourism destination in its own right and a national treasure on the doorstep of all Darwinians.
RINYIRRU NP, QLD
Rinyirru National Park is a little far afield for a quick weekend jaunt out of Brisbane, perched as it is 100km or so inland of Cooktown. This is one of those places that’s worth making time for, whether you’re a far north QLD resident or plan a stopover as part of a pilgrimage to Cape York.
CAPE ARID, WA
The untouched wilderness of the Cape Arid National Park presents a remarkably engaging face to the traveller, in a way that’s singular to Western Australia’s southern coastline.
