A videographer with a passion for travelling has discovered New South Wales‘ answer to the Whitsundays just two and a half hours’ drive from Sydney.

Andrew Zhao recently visited Huskisson, a picturesque beachside village on the NSW South Coast that looks almost identical to the iconic islands known as the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef in northeast Queensland.

In a clip posted to his TikTok account ‘Andy Escapes‘ – which has 2.1million ‘likes’ –  Mr Zhao showcased the similarities between the two locations that include white sand beaches, world-class diving and and crystal clear turquoise waters.

‘The Whitsundays in NSW?’ he captioned the video.

While some are discovering Huskisson for the first time, it’s been a go-to holiday spot for Australians – chiefly those from NSW – for many years.

The top attraction in the tiny town of just 786 residents is the pristine stretch of sand which acts as a base for a host of activities including snorkelling, kayaking and standup paddle boarding.

Award-winning wineries are between 25 and 40 minutes’ drive from the beach, while a quaint country pub serves up tasty Australian fare and thirst-quenching sundowners overlooking the ocean.
