Campervan Sydney Touring Ideas: The Hawkesbury Valley

The bright lights of Sydney attract tourists from all over the globe like moths to a flame. This beautiful and diverse city has it all, from international icons such as the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge to pristine white beaches bordering its entire length. A must see for any visitor to Australia, Sydney is an exciting and interesting city that has to be experienced to be believed. Campervan Hire Sydney will give you the freedom to explore the city, and also to head further afield to some of the its surrounding regions.

With so much on offer within such a close distance its difficult to choose where to go in this part of New South Wales. One popular option, and for good reason, is to head towards the peaceful hills and green meadows of the Hawkesbury Valley. The Hawkesbury River that runs through this valley is navigable for over 100 kilometres, and is surrounded by National Parks. There are lots of campsites up its length, so a great idea is to park your campervan at one of these sites and enjoy the serene beauty of the river. Rent a canoe or a kayak and see if you are any match for the large populations of fish under the surface.

Most of the valley is National Park, and the thick forests provide some awesome bushwalking experiences. Historically the Hawkesbury region is seen as the main supplier of produce to the state's capital, so there are many farms out here that provide all sorts of fresh goods such as fruits, vegetables and honey. Stop in at the friendly farms, be made to feel right at home and drive away with some fresh country ware. The combination of rustic farm life and stunning natural scenery really add to the character of the magnificent valley. Be sure to check out amazing Sydney's surrounds while you are in the area too.

To get to the valley from Sydney will take just over an hour in one of our hire campers, but once you are there you can explore for weeks and weeks and not see everything, making it the ultimate touring holiday. Situated at the base of the Blue Mountains, if you fancy heading to some higher ground then drive to these rugged hills for awesome views and plenty of mountain based activities. You really are spoiled for choice in the Hawkesbury region, so hop into a Campervan Hire and get exploring!
