From Bald Hill Lookout at Stanwell Tops, we’ll follow Grand Pacific Drive across the magnificent Sea Cliff Bridge at Coalcliff, and through the charming towns and villages from the Illawarra to Kiama.

We’ll visit the famous blowhole at Kiama. Feeling like seafood for lunch? This seaside town offers some great options; otherwise we’ll roll onto the quaint country town of Berry for a pub or café lunch.

Berry offers a unique dining experiences spanning across historic restaurants, bakeries, and local delicatessens. We usually stop here for lunch unless it's seafood at Kiama.

A final stop on our 11-hour tour will be either a look-around one of the Southern Highland villages, such as Bowral, or a cellar-door visit at one of the cool-climate vineyards in the area.
