Great Things To Do Within Driving Distance of Sydney

[Moulder]

I am currently in Sydney and have a hire car for the next three days (Wed - Fri). This seems like a good opportunity to do things or go places that are a outside if the city, hard to get to by public transport, or unique to the area.

Ideally I need to be back in Sydney at night but can be away Thursday night.

I can appreciate what is great to someone is tedious to another, as an indication I am not averse to a good view, quite like a bit of a walk, can be impressed by big structures, and like good/ different restaurants. Obviously I also like standard PH motor based pursuits, off road riding, quad biking, etc.

Thanks

Many thanks for the replies. Ezakimak, I am almost disappointed that you have chosen to get there going north/anti-clockwise as opposed to starting out south and going clockwise round the coast. Regardless I may save this for a 4 day hire, there is also an additional fee to drive outside of NSW which I will have to look into.

Hasbeen, thanks for the suggestion which is now exactly what my plan is for tomorrow.
