Sydney and surrounds
Some of our most popular recreation areas close to Sydney are in the State forests of the Watagan Mountains on the Central Coast, State forests in the foothills of the Barrington Tops, the eucalypt forests surrounding Lithgow and the planted pine forests of the Southern Highlands and Oberon and Orange in the central west. These State forests provide opportunities for a wide range of recreational pursuits like camping, picnicking, walking, four wheel driving and mountain bike riding to name a few. Many of the State forests in this region are readily accessible for day-trippers or campers from Sydney, the central coast, Newcastle, the Hunter and Wollongong.
