The region surrounding Sydney offers a wealth of natural attractions, historic towns and villages, restaurants with million-dollar views, and endless options for outdoor activities. All regions covered in this section are accessible by public transport, but hiring a car will give you far greater flexibility. To the north of Sydney is Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, the Hawkesbury River, the Central Coast and Hunter Valley. To the west are the famous Blue Mountains and historic Parramatta and Windsor, while to the south is the gorgeous Royal National Park and the Southern Highlands. All are only a day’s trip away from Sydney, but try combining neighbouring attractions into an overnight or weekend trip, for each area offers a diverse and unique range of attractions. There are plenty of accommodation options, ranging from luxury guesthouses in the Blue Mountains to houseboats on the Hawkesbury River to beach campsites at the Royal National Park.

A reasonably economic place to eat if you are "into" Buffet-type meals. The selection, on the day that I went there, was sufficient to satisfy most tastes. I was "signed-in" by a Member but entry to this style of eatery seems to be getting fairly flexible, these days. I would imagine that membership of any similar sort of Organisation would be acceptable. No wheels ?? The building is quite close to Caringbah station on the Cronulla line of Sydney's very efficient electrified commuter-train network. A meal for three of us cost about AUD$42, which I considered to be very kind to a budget. Remember that anyone who goes away hungry from such a place is, obviously, very hard to please - I was quite replete, Thank You. Oh, by the way - R.S.L. ?? returned Servicemens' League
