This trip is a perfect blend of natural beauty, Indigenous legends, and breathtaking landscapes. 🚗 Stop 1: The Three Sisters, Blue Mountains 📍 Location: Blue Mountains National Park, NSW (2-hour drive from Sydney) Standing tall above Jamison Valley, the Three Sisters are one of Australia’s most famous rock formations, with a fascinating Indigenous legend behind them. 🔹 Echo Point Lookout – The best viewpoint for admiring the Three Sisters and the vast Blue Mountains scenery. 🔹 Giant Stairway – A steep but rewarding hike that takes you down to the base of the rock formations. 🔹 Scenic World – Hop on the Scenic Skyway for a thrilling glass-floor cable car ride with stunning valley views. 💡 Top Tip: Arrive early to beat the crowds and experience the morning mist rolling through the valley! 🚗 Stop 2: Elephant Rock, Currumbin Beach 📍 Location: Gold Coast, QLD (Approx. 9-hour drive from the Blue Mountains, or fly to Brisbane & drive 1 hour) Elephant Rock is a unique coastal rock formation offering incredible ocean views and a peaceful seaside escape. 🔹 Climb to the Top – A short set of stairs leads to a panoramic viewpoint over the Gold Coast’s beaches. 🔹 Currumbin Beach – Relax on one of the Gold Coast’s best beaches, right next to Elephant Rock. 🔹 Wildlife Encounters – Stop by Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary nearby to see koalas, kangaroos, and native Australian animals. 💡 Top Tip: Visit at sunset for spectacular golden-hour views over the ocean! 🌟 Road Trip Tips ✔ Break Up the Drive – If driving between NSW and QLD, stop at Coffs Harbour or Byron Bay for scenic coastal views. ✔ Pack Layers – The Blue Mountains can be chilly, while the Gold Coast is warm year-round. ✔ Bring a Camera – Both locations offer breathtaking photo opportunities, from mountain landscapes to coastal cliffs.
