All roads are unpaved. This may be a problem if you rent a car from the majors. For hints and tips, read Driving in Australia.

[edit] Easy Access

There are historic ruins at Newnes Glen that are quite easy to get to.

The glow worm tunnel is a disused railway tunnel, so the walks to get there are reasonably flat.

Dunns Swamp has easy walks and plenty of opportunities for canoeing.

There are car and caravan camping sites at Newnes and Dunns Swamp.
