The Central Coast
Description
Just to the north of Sydney, across Broken Bay lays a fantasmagoria of beaches and lakes.
Known locally as "The Central Coast", this area has always been a favoured holiday destination for Sydney-siders. Many locals commute to Sydney by train, and you can see the rail bridge about 4 nm west of WP 4, Lion Island.
