  • The Ultimate South Coast Oyster Trail
    RESTAURANT AUSTRALIA | MEDIA INFORMATION THE ULTIMATE SOUTH COAST OYSTER TRAIL When it comes to unspoilt destinations, the NSW South Coast is postcard perfect. This meandering drive south from Sydney unearths an astonishing range of local wines, cheeses, vegetables and seafood – plus oysters as the star ingredient! Local hero: oysters The pristine lakes, rivers and ocean found here form a large chunk of Australia’s 300 km-long Oyster Coast – with farms sprinkled across the Shoalhaven and Crookhaven rivers, Clyde River, Wagonga Inlet and the lakes at Tuross, Wapengo, Merimbula, Pambula and Wonboyn. Local oyster farmers are committed to ensuring that these estuaries are among the most environmentally sustainable oyster-growing regions in the world. The local specialty is the Sydney rock oyster, one of the few indigenous oysters still being farmed anywhere in the world and prized for its intense and tangy flavour. DAY 1: SYDNEY TO MOLLYMOOK Morning Starting from Sydney, travel south along the coast past beautiful beaches around Wollongong, Shellharbour and Kiama to the Shoalhaven Coast wine region. The breathtaking beauty of the countryside, the beaches and towering escarpment ensure that the vineyards here are among the most beautiful in Australia. Each of the 18 vineyards in the region has cellar doors where you can try a wide variety of red and white styles. Visit Gerringong’s Crooked River Wines which takes in a landscape that literally stretches from the mountains to the sea; Two Figs Winery that sits proudly overlooking the Shoalhaven River and offers a simply breathtaking view; and Coolangatta Estate near Berry to taste their award-winning semillon.
