Find HotelsTo shorten the trip, you could skip the Moree hot pools and the Jenolan Caves day, reducing travel time and accommodation costs. For a more relaxed pace, add an extra night in the Blue Mountains to explore additional bushwalks or take a day trip to the Hawkesbury River. If you’d like more beach time, consider swapping one Sydney day for a visit to Manly or the coastal towns of the Central Coast. Always book powered sites in advance during holiday periods to guarantee a spot for the caravan.
