    Jenny Piper

    As a proud Sydneysider, I am excited that this week’s feature is on NSW, and in particular looking at National Parks in Sydney and its surrounds. I have spent a lot of time holidaying in my own state, as a kid enjoying time spent on summer beach holidays, and as an adult staying in the Blue Mountains, as well as on the coast both north and south of Sydney. Some of my favourite National Parks are showcased in our story.

    And with travel restrictions as they have been the last 6 months I’ve had the chance to explore places like Bouddi National Park, on the Central Coast. I’ve also done some of the legs of the Bondi to Manly walk – which I would highly recommend. It really does give you a chance to see more of our amazing city and harbour away from the crowds and the traffic.

    I hope you enjoy our Take Four on some quirky attractions to put on your list for future travels. In fact if you have some quirky or ‘out there’ places that you have visited we would love to hear about them. Send me an email at [email protected].

    Summer is just around the corner so start planning that next holiday – your travel agent has lots of great offers available. Keep being inspired to travel and don’t stop dreaming.

    Get your grove onOlives and wine go hand in hand, so next

    time you’re heading on a wine adventure, why not mix it up with a visit to an Australian olive farm?

    In Australia, olives are grown throughout the country, with Victoria producing most of the national crop, followed by Western Australia, South Australia, NSW/ACT and Queensland.

    Victoria’s Red Rock Olives olive grove and farm gate café is known for its high-grade extra virgin olive oil and table olives and is found between Pomonal and Halls Gap in the Grampians National Park, western Victoria. Drop by the café for tastings, a menu of grazing plates, homemade cakes and coffee.

    Fini Olives in Western Australia is well worth a visit to learn how olive oil is made and to pop into the tasting room to sample a number of different varieties of extra virgin olive oils. The 1,200-acre grove with around

    110,000 trees is located approximately 128 kilometres north of Perth in the heart of the Moore River Olive Region.

    South Australia’s Bonina Olive Grove combines the best of both worlds – olives and wine. The cellar door in Clare Valley provides tastings of the product from the property’s 800 olive trees and 2.5 hectares of reisling, sangiovese, and shiraz.

    Agent efforts recognised

    The huge amount of unpaid work being undertaken by Australia’s travel agents has been acknowledged by the West Australian Government, which has announced a $3 million lifeline for the beleaguered sector.

    The move sees WA become the first jurisdiction to introduce a dedicated support program to help agents cover expenses as they continue to work to repatriate billions of dollars in customer refunds and credits.

    Tourism Minister Paul Papalia noted that travel agents had been “profoundly impacted” by border closures

    and had been working tirelessly on behalf of their customers while at the same time being unable to generate income for their businesses.

    He said the new funding was designed to assist the industry in maintaining their operating expenses “until the Federal Government devises a longer term solution”.

    Qld cruises kick off again

    Coral Expeditions has confirmed it will recommence cruising operations out of Cairns next month, as the first stage of the highly anticipated return of local cruising .

    Being an Australian-flagged operator Coral Expeditions is

    not subject to the restrictions applying under the Federal Government’s COVID-19 Biosecurity Order, and the company’s SailSAFE plan has been approved by all state and territory governments.

    The Cairns inaugural will be followed by a staged restart over the next six months, including well advanced preparations for a Tasmania summer season and new expeditions for the Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia in early 2021.

    The line’s spokesman, Jeff Gillies, said special deals were available to celebrate the restart, including a flexible booking policy and complimentary pre-cruise accommodation.

    Royal National Park Located in Sydney’s south, the expansive

    Royal National Park provides adventurous travellers with countless reasons to come and visit, from its prehistoric sandstone cliffs, micro-rainforests, rocky coves and salty marshes. But it’s the park’s wildlife that many find is the irresistible reason to trek the trails in this part of the world, especially for birdwatchers, who have the opportunity to spot a number of rare species of feathered

    friends, such as the endangered Far Eastern curlew. Weirdly enough however, it’s the wildlife that lurks off the coast of this fertile paradise that so often takes top billing for nature-lovers. The Royal National Park coastal park provides hundreds of amazing vantage points to watch for whales breaching in the open seas, and with more than 30,000 whales migrating along the NSW coastline each year, there is ample opportunity to spot one of these giant majestic marine mammals playfully enjoying their journey.

    Green on Sydney’s doorstep NSW is home to nearly a thousand amazing national parks, all teeming with unique wildlife and natural wonders such as UNESCO World Heritage-listed sites, ancient caves, and secluded golden beaches, but as Adam Bishop discovers, you don’t have to venture too far from Sydney to immerse yourself in nature.

    If you want a touch of luxury when venturing through the Royal National Park, then AEA Luxury Tours is one operator that offers a private tour including a 2.5 hour trek taking in part of one of Australia’s most famous coastal walks, the Coast Track which includes long sandy beaches and dramatic sea cliffs. Having a tour guide in tow will also increase your chances of finding a bunch of hidden gems on your hike, from secret waterfalls to meeting and greeting the forest’s most sought-after spikey local

    resident, the echidna, along with learning about the area’s rich Aboriginal history. Prices for the tour start from $515 for adults and includes a tea or coffee, a gourmet picnic lunch, park fees and air-conditioned transport to Sydney.

    The Blue Mountains The Blue Mountains is home to a huge array

    of challenging hiking trails and cliff tracks, from the 45km Kanangra Walls to Katoomba

    walk, to the Prince Henry Cliff walk. If walking longer trails is not your

    cup of tea, then the Blue Mountains is also home to one of the widest selection of adrenaline and adventure activities in the country. One of the popular tour operators servicing the ranges is High and Wild Australian Adventures, offering abseiling, rock climbing, canyoning and bush survival courses. Highlights include a half-day abseiling package in a group of less than 14 people, which starts out with a small five metre wall for those who have never undertaken the activity before. Once adventurers get into the swing of things and learn the best techniques from the experts, instructors take you to the 15 metre before graduating to some genuinely lofty heights on the 30-metres cliff faces. The sessions typically start in the morning at 9am and finish at lunchtime, with prices for the lessons leading in at $150 per adult, and $95 for kids.

    Central CoastAll of the traditional relaxing Aussie

    outdoor activities are on offer in the Bouddi National Park, with an abundance of places to camp, go lake swimming or throw the rod in the water to fish. For something a little bit more up tempo, visitors can also use the Bouddi Ridge Explorer mountain biking trail, a 10km path looping together a collection of four smaller bike tracks – Strom loop, the Rocky Point trail, Daleys Point trail and the MacMasters Ridge trail. The cost of accessing the circuit is free and it is recommended you take plenty of water and a puncture repair kit with you just in case.

    If Bouddi National Park isn’t enough to get your heart pumping, then head to TreeTops. There are number of locations on the Central

    Coast that offer a range of high ropes adventures to suit anyone from three years old and up, including flying foxes, Tarzan swings, suspended rafts, ziplines and more.

    If you want to get up close and personal with some of the local wildlife, head to the Entrance waterfront for the daily Pelican Feed, or else try the Australian Reptile Park, whose residents include Tasmanian devils and a huge saltwater crocodile. Take a private VIP Behind the Scenes tour at the park, where you’ll meet and feed reptiles with an experienced animal keeper. Don’t fret if cold-blooded creatures aren’t your favourite – the tour also includes the chance to meet the more cuddly koalas and kangaroos. Prices for the tour start at $150 for adults and $100 for children.

    Nearby Glenworth Valley also offers animal encounters of a different kind: the chance to take in the scenery of the area on horseback, with a range of horse-riding activities suitable for ages three and up.

    After a day adventuring, travellers can put their feet up at the luxurious Pretty Beach House, with its four private pavilions and beautifully appointed main house, located in Bouddi National Park.

    IllawarraHead to Macquarie Pass National

    Park, near Wollongong on the south coast, where visitors can wander along the towering eucalyptus trees and lush greenery at a leisurely pace, stopping from time to time to admire the numerous cascading water flows and tranquil shallow river systems that sprinkle their way through most of its area. There’s a certain European quality to this nature reserve when compared to most others in the state, with its mossy green rocks and lush

    green canopy dominating the landscape and presenting bushwalkers with a decidedly cooler temperate atmosphere.

    For those who are here to relax and not hike, the Cascades Picnic area would be one of the best places to visit. Here you can stop for lunch not far from the Illawarra Highway and enjoy the open grassy area surrounded by the ambience of the tall timber.

    Just a stone’s throw (or a 25 minute drive) away is the Illawarra Fly. The attraction offers a range of experiences, with the Treetop Walk and Zipline Tours our top picks. The TreeTop Walk takes travellers 20 metres above the floor of the Illawarra Rainforest, and extends 1.5km. The TreeTop Walk is suitable for all ages, and for early risers, there is a Sunrise Walk Tour, which also includes coffee on arrival and a delicious hot buffet breakfast to entice those for whom stunning

    sunrise views aren’t enough. For the more adventurous souls, there’s the Zipline Tour which includes the TreeTop Walk as well as a chance to experience the highest zipline tour in Australia.

    SydneyEven in the city there’s plenty of nature

    to soak up. The newly opened Manly to Bondi Walk links all the existing coastal and harbourside walking tracks together, creating a memorable journey between the city’s two most famous beaches and taking in iconic landmarks along the way, including the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House. The 80km path can be done in 15 hours if you really want a challenge, but the best way to enjoy the walk is breaking it up into smaller sections.

Add 1-2 teaspoons caster sugar (depending on how sweet you like it).Add the lid to your jar or shaker and give it a good shake to dissolve all the sugar.Pour into a glass of your choice and use a strainer so you don’t get any ice in the glass and enjoy.

    Pisco SourThis week’s recipe comes from one of Adventure World’s South American Experts. This is a popular drink in both Peru and Chile, and there’s some dispute between the two over who invented the cocktail. A pisco sour often has an egg white in it, but you can also choose to omit it (like this recipe), it might just be a bit less fluffy. The cocktail also usually requires a cocktail shaker to make, but if you have a glass jar with a lid that will be perfect as well. You can watch how to make it HERE.
