Blowhole Beach is a stunning ocean beach near the western edge of Deep Creek Conservation Park. You can walk 2 km to the beach from the Cobbler Hill carpark.

The sandy beach is 200 m long and is in a steep valley. A creek crosses the beach and rocky headlands reach out at either end of the beach.

There is no camping at the beach. Check the website for maps, details and booking.

Blue Gum Forest

The historical and natural significance of the mighty Blue Gum Forest can't be understated. It's spoken of in hushed tones by those who know of it, and once seen, is never forgotten. Situated in Grose Valley, in the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains National Park, this stand of magnificent eucalypts is a fine example of closed forest. A haven for birds and wildlife, it was saved from the axe by bushwalkers in the 1930s. These intrepid nature-lovers pooled resources and bought the forest to preserve it for future generations. For a close-up experience of the splendour of the tall stand of blue gums, you'll have to bring your hiking boots. Access is via walking tracks from either Perrys lookdown or Pierces Pass into Grose Valley. Why not make a nature weekend of it and stay overnight at Acacia Flat campground?

Whilst taking a refreshing dip out in the bay, don't forget to turn around and admire the rugged coastline. The rock faces and cliffs contrast beautifully against the blue water and white sand, reminding you of just how incredible these hidden beaches are in Esperance.

Blue Heeler Country

Standing proudly under the wide blue skies of the Upper Hunter, Big Blue is more than just a statue – he's a tribute to the heart and heritage of rural Australia. Towering at two metres high and weighing in at half a tonne, this majestic bronze sculpture by renowned artist Brett Garling celebrates the legendary Australian Cattle Dog and its deep roots in the region. Affectionately known as 'Bluey' or 'Hunter', this iconic figure honours the hardworking spirit of the Blue Heeler, a breed that helped shape the pastoral life of the Hunter Valley and beyond. Originally commemorated in 2001, the current sculpture was unveiled in 2016 to provide a lasting, larger-than-life homage to a true Aussie working hero. Whether you're a dog lover, art enthusiast, or simply exploring the countryside, Big Blue is a must-see stop – a symbol of loyalty, grit, and the enduring bond between humans and their four-legged mates.
