With its own performing arts theatre, modern cafés and restaurants, racecourse, golf course and artfully restored buildings from yesteryear, Wyong is embracing its role as the region's low-key creative town centre.

Photo opportunity: Wyong is a gateway to the Central Coast hinterland dotted with farmscapes and valley views. Head to Yarramalong and Dooralong valleys, or take the rural roads to Kulnura.
