REGION Central Coast is blessed with spectacular scenery, clean rivers and streams, mountains and valleys, pristine uncrowded beaches and the richest and most fertile farming land in Australia.
The abundance of riches from the land include high quality vegetables and poppies and pyrethrum flowers which patchwork the rolling hills.
The area is also known as one which produces the award-winning Leven Gold fruit and vegetable wines. Leven Gold Wines are nationally recognised and have won many national awards for excellence.
You will find the very special Gunns Plains limestone caves in this area, formed over a million years ago. Let the imaginative and informative Curley Willcox guide you through.
Our population of 21,000 is centred around the two largest towns of Ulverstone and Penguin. Shopping is made much easier and more enjoyable with compact and level well-planned centres and of course, our free parking!
Ulverstone is probably best known for its parklands and unique memorial parks, a concept which began in the late 1970°s.
While you are in Ulverstone, visit the Local History Museum and view the comprehensive and fascinating displays depicting the life and hard times of our pioneers.
Travel west along the scenic coast road from Ulverstone to the charming seaside town of Penguin, named after the occupants of the rookeries in the area.
Penguin°s attractions range from beautiful parks and gardens through to mountain ranges and reserves, and features what is believed to be the largest penguin in the world.
The area is a mecca for bushwalkers with the spectacular Dial Range as the focus.
Central Coast is also the ideal base for your stay as other major tourist attractions of the region - such as Cradle Mountain, Stanley and Sheffield - are all easy day trips.
