Clifton

Wollongong

Iconic shot!
Bald Point is an amazing spot where you can take in views of the Sea Cliff Bridge snaking it’s way around the cliff faces. This is the place where hang gliders dare to fly and little children dare to go on bear hunts through the scrub.

2 hours drive from sydney
Definitely one of my favourite views and drives on the New South Wales, South Coast of Australia! This hidden away lookout point captures the perfect view of Sea Cliff Bridge. The entrance is hidden between shrubs on your left-hand side before crossing the bridge heading North. Helpful HINT: Have your hiking shoes handy as it's a steep trek! #OnTheRoad
