Touring around

The South Coast NSW and Grand Pacific Drive

• Those who wish to take in more of the sea breeze can stroll along the Sea Cliff Bridge. It’s iconic section of the coast road veering out from the shore. The bridge has a pedestrian walkway, which is popular with locals, tourists – and carmakers filming their television commercials! It takes about thirty minutes to walk across.

• Next, head inland through the green rolling hills of this former dairy country. You might stop for lunch in the town of Berry or at a hilltop café with great views over the coastal plains.
