Coast to the Highlands Scenic Drive – Kangaroo Valley

Natural Attractions

For spectacular scenery through the lush rainforest, waterfalls and mountains of NSW Southern Highlands, enjoy a driving route along the superb Coast to the Highlands scenic drive. Leading from Nowra to Goulburn, through the beautiful Kangaroo Valley, this drive offers plenty of options for walking, picnics and scenic views, making it a perfect family day out.

Following the lush tree-lined road over Cambewarra Mountain, Fitzroy Falls in Morton National Park is a magnificent sight after heavy rain, and Fitzroy Falls Visitor Centre is well worth a visit.
