Today’s tour showcases the rich scenery and greenery of the Central Coast hinterland as we explore quiet backroads, fertile valleys, and peaceful rural townships.

After a relaxing journey north, we meet our local guide who will lead us through the picturesque Yarramalong Valley. We travel through the velvet-green farmlands, stopping to visit St Barnabas Church, before ascending Bumble Hill—once known as the bread bowl of the Central Coast. We continue through the Kulnura area, famed for its citrus orchards, flower farms, and poultry and horse-breeding establishments. Along the way, enjoy fascinating tales from the region’s history.

Next, we visit the Mangrove Creek Dam Visitor Centre, where the viewing platform offers sweeping panoramas of this vital water catchment area.

A hearty lunch awaits at Gosford RSL Club, before we finish the day with a visit to the Chocolate & Nougat Factory shop, where you can browse a tempting selection of sweets and local treats—perhaps sampling some for yourself or taking a few home.

Our journey concludes with a scenic drive around Brisbane Water, as the coach climbs to Kariong, offering wonderful views back across the waterways.

This is a relaxing and refreshing day, perfect for lovers of countryside views, fresh air, and local stories.
