Explore the road less travelled on this all-day 4x4 tour with adventure company Detourist in Watagans National Park. Only one hour from Newcastle, you’ll travel off-road through breathtaking wilderness that feels a million miles away from the city.
There’ll be lots of opportunities to stretch your legs along the way, including a guided bushwalk through mystical terrain. Keep an eye out for lyrebirds, yellow-tailed black cockatoos and wombats, as well as a range of stunning wildflowers.
Eat your packed lunch in the bush before stopping at three marvellous lookouts on the way back. Don’t forget your camera to snap photos of the breathtaking views.
Detourist is a licensed commercial tour operator with a Parks Eco Pass.
