Established in 1986 to commemorate Coronado's centennial, Centennial Park is a charming waterfront spot offering panoramic views of the San Diego skyline. Once the docking site for ferries transporting cars and passengers before the Coronado Bridge opened in 1969, the park retains historical elements like the old ferry toll booth. Today, it’s a peaceful escape with lush lawns, colorful flower beds, and plenty of benches for relaxing or enjoying a picnic. Plus, it’s just steps from the Coronado Ferry Landing, making it an easy stop if you’re checking out the local shops and restaurants.

Rolling hills, national parks and state forests surround gorgeous Dungog. Its main street is an urban conservation area. Notable historic buildings include the primary school built in 1843 and designed by colonial architect Edmund Blacket, who also designed the University of Sydney and St Andrew's Cathedral in Sydney. The Dungog Cinema has a Spanish mission-style façade and is the oldest operating purpose-built cinema in Australia.

Only a short train ride away lies the picturesque fishing port of Trani. A great day trip from Bari where you can enjoy the beautiful harbour, take a walk along the beach, or visit the stunning cathedral. There are also plenty of restaurants and cafés to choose from when hunger kicks in.
