| Western Sydney International Airport (WSI) |
With Western Sydney International Airport (WSI) opening a new chapter for travel to New South Wales, visitors have another reason to hire a car, head south and explore the destinations beyond Sydney’s famous attractions.
Eight Regions, One Unforgettable NSW Road Trip
Developed through the LG8 Visitor Economy Collaboration, the new itinerary connects eight local government areas: Campbelltown, Camden, Wollondilly, Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama, Shoalhaven and Wingecarribee.
Together, these destinations create a diverse journey through some of the most rewarding landscapes and experiences in regional NSW, from the Southern Highlands to the South Coast.
The itinerary encourages travellers to venture beyond familiar tourist routes, discover hidden gems and meet the local people who give each destination its character.
Travel creators Salt and Charcoal are bringing the journey to life through content showcasing the region’s attractions, local businesses, food experiences and outdoor adventures.
From Hot-Air Balloons to Waterfalls and Coastal Escapes
The beauty of this NSW road trip lies in its variety. Travellers can begin with a hot-air balloon experience over Camden, explore country markets and enjoy the charm of rural communities before heading towards spectacular natural landscapes.
Adventure seekers can chase waterfalls, explore rainforest environments and kayak along the Kangaroo River. Food lovers can discover regional produce, wineries, restaurants and welcoming local businesses, while visitors interested in culture can experience Aboriginal heritage and stories connected to Country.
Further south, the coastal destinations of Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama and Shoalhaven offer opportunities to unwind beside the ocean, discover scenic beaches and explore picturesque seaside towns.
The Southern Highlands adds another dimension, with village experiences, food and wine, country accommodation and beautiful natural surroundings.
Rather than rushing between attractions, visitors can use the itinerary to create a personalised holiday, allowing time to appreciate each destination along the way.
A New Way to Explore Beyond Sydney
The itinerary complements the well-known Grand Pacific Drive, encouraging visitors to combine coastal scenery with inland adventures and the distinctive character of the Southern Highlands.
For international and interstate visitors arriving through Western Sydney International Airport, the journey offers an opportunity to experience more of New South Wales in a single holiday.
Sydney residents and Canberra travellers can also use the itinerary to plan a weekend escape, a longer driving holiday or a return visit to places they may have overlooked.
By connecting eight local government areas, the collaboration demonstrates how regional destinations can work together to create a more compelling visitor experience. It also helps showcase local accommodation providers, restaurants, cultural operators, wellness retreats and outdoor adventure businesses to a wider audience.
Discover the People and Places Along the Way
Lord Mayor of Wollongong Tania Brown said the region offered much more than the destinations travellers already knew.
She highlighted the opportunity to connect country towns, mountain escarpments, waterfalls, rainforest and coastline in one journey, while meeting passionate local operators and discovering unexpected places.
The road trip is designed to inspire travellers to slow down, stay longer and explore at their own pace. Whether planning a long weekend, a week-long escape or a more extensive NSW adventure, visitors can select the experiences that interest them most.
Plan Your Next NSW Self-Drive Holiday
The You Don’t Get Lost, You Get Found itinerary provides inspiration for travellers seeking an Australian road trip combining nature, culture, food, adventure and relaxation.
