Day 1 - To Paperbark
Camp, 2 nights
Collect your hire car and head south on the Princes Hwy.
Paperbark Camp is 200kms from Sydney and is situated in beautiful
bush land near Jervis Bay. You may care to take the scenic route via
Kangaroo Valley and stopping at such small towns as Berrima, Bowral and
Mittagong.
You stay in one of ten unique, safari style tents – each has private en suite facilities,
comfortable queen or twin beds, pure wool doonas, insect screens and solar powered lighting.
They are furnished with locally handcrafted bush furniture.
Day 2 - A day on the
South Coast
Paperbark Camp is very much an activity-based camp centred around nature and the
local area also offers a diverse array of activities.
Get out by boat on Jervis Bay and the Currumbene Creek, where there is good bird watching and
an extraordinary diversity of wildlife - dolphins and fur seals, and a rookery of the Australian
Fairy Penguin. Relax in the sun; dive overboard for a swim, snorkel, and watch for dolphins; stop
on a sandy beach for a picnic barbeque lunch.
The Booderee National Park on the southern shores of the bay is ideal for bushwalking as are the
short nature trails around the Camp where you may spay possums, Antechinus or perhaps a Swamp Wallaby.
Other options include a drive out to the lighthouse at Point Perpendicular for views across the bay,
or a drive south along the coast, or into the Morton and Budawang National Parks, equipped with a
picnic lunch.

Day 3 - To the Outback,
Burrawang West Station, 2 nights
A long, scenic day drive takes you across high country and through
rural areas with interesting stops along the way. Visit a vineyard near
Cowra or take a stroll in Boorowa where the street facade is reminiscent
of a bygone era.
Rolling foothills, vineyards, olive groves, orchards and traditional farms surround the historic
township of Canowindra and a walk down the heritage listed main street will take you past cafes,
pubs, clothing stores trading in beautiful linen and famous country labels such as RM Williams,
guesthouses, galleries and antique stores. Stop at the Age of Fishes Museum, home to an incredible
360 million year old fossil collection and wander up Ferguson Street to another beautifully restored
shopping and café quarter.

Near Parkes is Arriving at Burrawang West Homestead and your luxury outback lodge for the next 2 nights.
Day 4 - An
Outback day
Burrawang West offers luxury accomodation in stylish Australian
surrounds, gourmet meals and a taste of life in the outback. Allow time
to enjoy the comfort of the Homestead; take a dip in the pool or sit on
the verandah and enjoy the endless vistas. Head out on a quad bike and
explore the property, spend time with the cattlemen and get to know their
way of life.
Watch for kangaroos as you glide along the peaceful Yarrabandai billabong, listen to the hundreds
of Australian birds. In the evening star gaze through the telescope, play billiards and enjoy a
drink by the fire if it is cold.
Day 5 - Return to
Sydney
The drive to Sydney covers 350 kms and will take about 5 hours.
Katoomba is a good lunch stop or take time to enjoy some of the small &
pretty towns or nature walks and panoramic vistas of the Blue Mountains.
