Car Rental Wyong - Cheap Discount Car Hire - Special Deals and Offers.
On the
Pacific Highway, which used to be the main route before the
Sydney-Newcastle freeway was built, Wyong is about 90km north of
Sydney’s CBD, near the western shore of beautiful Tuggerah Lake.
This area was opened up to timber cutters in 1887 when the railway
arrived and, with this economical way of transporting their wood to
encourage them, the loggers moved with a vengeance into what are now
the Ourimbah and Olney State Forests to the west and caused
devastation with their axes and saws.
But
the hinterland has recovered admirably and today provides some
pleasant walks and sightseeing opportunities for the visitor. The
lake is fine for swimming, boating and fishing, as it has been to
holidaymakers for more than 120 years. The local racetrack is a
provincial favourite, hosting horse and greyhound racing, and
there’s a trotting track, too. The delightful Yarramalong Valley to
the west of Wyong is a place of great beauty that provides many
worthwhile and challenging walks.
Across
the lake, to the east of town, beaches like Norah Head, The
Entrance, Toowoon Bay and Bateau Bay are easy to reach. The freeway
spearing north out of Sydney brings Wyong to within a comfortable
drive of the metropolis, and the big city of Newcastle is only 45
minutes or so away to the north.
