SOUTHERN DRIVE


Thinking you need a break from Sydney but don't have time to go too far away? About an hour from Sydney CBD you'll hit the Royal National Park, you can either take the scenic route (Grand Pacific Drive) which goes through the National Park and adds another 40 mins to the trip, or skip this exit and go left down Lawrence Hargrave Drive - either way you'll hit the Sea Cliff Bridge which is just spectacular. Don't park at the car park tourist trap, keep driving and park on the other side off road and walk back. Along the bridge some 'lovers' have started a cool trend, padlocks are engraved and attached to the poles of the bridge either for anniversary remembrance or a memorial for love ones who have passed. Just beautiful... After your walk drive into Thirroul Town and the pub there has the best food!!! And you must visit a little shop across the road called 'THE NEST'.


Then another 20 mins from Thirroul you'll find NAN TIEN TEMPLE
http://www.nantien.org.au/ . It's just so peaceful and beautiful. You can walk around the grounds, drink some tea enjoy some peace and quiet :) the pictures below say everything...
