Melbourne has the Great Ocean Road and Wollongong has the Blue Ocean Road. Located between Sydney and Wollongong, this road is one of the ideal routes from Sydney to the South Bay, passing through national parks, past farmland and seascapes, and past charming fishing port towns. The spectacular Sea Cliff Hengkong Bridge is a beautiful and unique section of the Blue Ocean Road. It is an overhead bridge built against a steep cliff. The train passes behind the cliff, and the bridge itself cannot be seen, but under the sea cliff bridge is a beautiful beach, with people fishing, surfing, and barbecues. You can park your car on the side of the road, get out of the car, relax, stretch your legs, take pictures, and if you're lucky, you can even see migrating whales. 2. View the Wollongong City Art Museum, the original art Wollongong City Art Museum is a large-scale regional art museum in Australia.

    "Jervis Bay at the end of South Wales. The scenery is so beautiful that it is indescribable. It was cloudy and rainy that day, and the photos were a bit dark, and the beautiful scenery was still not blocked. The fine yellow sand, the blue sea, the white clouds, the seagulls flying, and the whale watching group ready to go. Too recommended."
    Beecroft Peninsula
    >100km from Sydney
    Highlights: Jervis Bay is located 150 kilometers south of Sydney and is a natural harbor 16 kilometers long from north to south and 10 kilometers wide from east to west. It is a suitable place for scuba diving (snorkeling) and recreational fishing, and there are also scallop farms in the area. Jervis Bay is also an ideal location for whale watching. Since the exit of Jervis is on the north-south migration route of whales, some whales will choose to rest in Jervis Bay halfway. Most of the cetaceans seen in Jervis Bay are humpback whales, which migrate along Australia's east coast between June and November. In addition to humpback whales, southern right whales, killer whales, fake killer whales, minke whales, and sometimes even blue whales are also found.

    "Canberra's Cotter Dam is a very interesting place, the dam waterfall looks majestic than many natural dams There are two hiking routes to play, one is relatively short, you can go to a Lookout to see the dam underneath, this route is more trees, very easy, There is also a stream, called discovery trail. Another route is five kilometers back and forth, there is a small mountain bag, the scenery along the road is good, if it is a big day, it will be a little sun, you can go to the top of the mountain to see the dam, called HonyongWalking Track. Of course, it is not a problem to go both routes, and it will not be particularly tired. In addition to the dam itself, there are many small tables in the parking place for picnics and barbecue grills. There are also facilities where children can play, and there is also a stream next to it. I saw someone fishing, which is very suitable for family weekend trips."
