Sydney to Mudgee road trip: Best stops, distance & drive time

Attractions between Sydney and Mudgee: National parks

Another option for a break is the Turon National Park, where you can camp by the Turon River. There are also plenty of walks and fishing opportunities.

Pearsons Lookout just before the village of Capertee makes for a great photo stop, but there’s more to see in the Capertee Valley. The scenic drive to Glen Davis takes you through the world’s second largest canyon, with dramatic escarpments flanking the route.

Just to the north of the valley, Capertee National Park offers great birdwatching, plus kangaroos and wallabies in the campgrounds. The best views come from the Valley Lookout.
