There’s no shortage of pretty places to have a pitstop on your road trip, enjoy a picnic or simply stop for a while and commune with nature. Hike to a mountain lookout for 360-degree views of coast and country, cook a meal with friends in a tranquil bush barbecue area or whale-watch from the top of limestone cliffs. Taking five in the Southern Forests and Valleys can be a richly rewarding experience.
