Mount Sugarloaf is either the or one of the highest features located in the Great Dividing Range which sit to the west of Newcastle NSW.
Set in beautiful Australian bushland it has exceptional views of Lake Macquarie. It is well worth the drive even if you are heading somewhere else and just pull in for a rest break.
The last time I was there there were no facilities apart from toilets. It was a popular destination in the dim and distant days of my youth and I still drive up there every year just to make sure no-one has moved it - the price of nice scenery is constant vigilance. Or was that the name of one of my old girlfriends ? Old age - highly over-rated
