Kangaroo valley! I have been there once thru Mittagong way, I like the bridge accross the river with single lane and the coffee shop on the other side up on the hills, nothing much down there, just a strip about 1km and that's all, it has a nice Chinese restaurant inside the sport club, I might go to Bundanoon, visiting the Thai Buddhist Monastery and their meditation center instead of.

Kangaroo Valley is a nice spot.

I've been going there all my life (stay on a property that my step dad used to have a share in).

Bundanoon is more peace and quiet than Kangaroo Valley.

Having just returned from New Zealand, I can really recommend the wonderful scenery there.
Lots of photo ops, and pretty easy to get to and get around in.

Las Vegas ??

Good ???

Two words that can never be used together, unless there's a "not" somewhere very close at hand.

If ever there was justifiaction for nulclear weapons, Las Vegas is it. Totally devoid of anything culturally redeemable, the sooner they push the place into the nearby Hoover Dam, the better!
