SYDNEY

Iconic Sydney will usually bring to your mind the Sydney Opera House or Harbour Bridge, maybe even the celebrity trap Bondi Beach – but it really is so much more than that. It is the perfect location to take out a car hire and experience the ‘Sydneysider’ lifestyle. Endless beaches await, stretching right around the coastline, most conveniently accessed by car.

The Northern Beaches area of Sydney spanning 30kms starts at Manly and runs almost an hour by car up to Palm Beach with plenty of scenic places to stop in between. Known as ‘Palmy’ to the locals, Palm Beach is recognisable in the popular Australian soap opera Home and Away where it plays its part as the fictional town Summer Bay.

Home to over 4 million people and counting, you would be forgiven for escaping for the weekend and driving west to the green Grand Canyon that is the Blue Mountains.  Breath-taking views, fresh air, long walks and steep cliffs bursting with colour are guaranteed to clear your mind. Katoomba, a major town within the region gives access to many bushwalks and views of the Three Sisters rock formation alongside being a great starting point for a drive around the area itself.

Additionally, the Grand Pacific Drive stretches around 140km of coast starting south of Sydney and takes you over the dramatic Sea Cliff Bridge on the way to Wollongong. Located between Coalcliff and Clifton, the bridge serves as the perfect spot to break up your trip and go for a short walk taking in some fantastic ocean views.

For those of you with less time restraints, you guessed it – more sea views! The magnificent stretch of coastline between Sydney and Melbourne makes for one of the most naturally beautiful self-drives or head north from Sydney and stop off at picturesque towns such as Port Stephens, Coffs Harbour, Ballina or Byron Bay.

For those of you with an interest in wildlife and enjoys the countryside why not try the Henry Lawson Drive. Starting from the Hume Highway at Lansdowne you can follow it through to Forest Road at Peakhurst. Driving alongside the north bank of George’s River, you will pass through Georges Hall, Milperra, East Hills and Picnic Point.

Driving Tips in Sydney:

• Unless you see a sign stating otherwise, the speed limit in the urban areas of Sydney is 50km per hour. On country roads or freeways, the normal speed limit is usually 100km per hour or on parts of the M4 it can be 110km per hour.
• Motorists drive on the left hand side of the road in Australia.
•  When driving in Sydney it is important to park properly and safely to avoid getting a parking fine or ticket. Park off the street where there are no restrictions indicated. Car parks or parking stations generally operate on an hourly rate. Insert the exact change into parking meters, and leave on time, if you want to avoid a fine. Rates vary, but expect to pay $7 an hour for metered parking in the CBD during business hours and $3 an hour off-peak.
• There are several Toll Way roads in Sydney, particularly around Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Harbour Tunnel.
• When driving, always consider how tired you are – fatigue is one of the top three contributors to Australia’s road toll. Ensure you have had enough sleep before your trip and share the driving wherever possible. When driving on Australian roads take advantage of the many ‘rest areas’ available, regardless of whether it’s a long-distance or short-distance trip
