The 900 km run from Sydney to the Queensland border takes in some of the best beaches, most accessible national parks and most relaxed coastal towns in New South Wales. This is a perfect part of Australia for a fly-drive holiday, allowing plenty of time to take in the laid-back atmosphere that thrives between the big city to the south and the glitzy Gold Coast to the north.
This is a great region to get in to the famous Aussie lifestyle of surfing, hanging out at the beach and sinking a few schooners over a barbecue - towns such as Byron Bay and Port Macquarie are perfect for this - while the coast is dotted with tucked away corners of pristine beach that are ideal for escaping the crowds.
