Beautiful Capertee Valley - a two day tour from Sydney

Sydney Nimble Tours has continued its quest to identify new locations to visit outside of Sydney. Our goal is to find the best places within four hours of Sydney.

This extended radius opens up many areas we have not previously considered.

With this in mind we visited the Capertee Valley and stayed two nights.

The Capertee Valley is the world’s second largest canyon, and can only be described as extraordinary.

When you drive through it you will see numerous majestic mountains, cliffs and stone pagodas. I thought to myself why haven’t I been here before?

The valley also includes the remarkable butte, Pantoneys Crown.

We were fortunate enough to stay with friends who really knew the area and took us on bushwalks that showed just how beautiful this region is. Many thanks to Duncan!

The Capertee Valley is bordered by and encompasses several national parks. The valley is a highly rated bird watching area and we were treated to the sight of a soaring wedge tailed eagle.

You may also come across kangaroos, wallabies and wombats in one of the valley’s national parks.

In addition to the flora and fauna the region also has some delightful small caves, pure freshwater streams and creeks plus many ‘out there’ geological formations.

We plan to include a visit to the Capertee Valley in our next extended tour which will focus on the Mudgee region.
