Choose South West Rocks For Your Sea Change
With the increasing trend towards cloud commuting and working from home, more people are now making popular vacation destinations like South West Rocks into their permanent home.
Most people's dream holiday includes time relaxing on a pristine beach, with a cool ocean breeze playing on our warm skin. It's the perfect getaway for city dwellers who want to de-stress and re-charge before plunging back to work - but having this as a daily lifestyle is now a reality.
About South West Rocks
Situated halfway between Sydney and Brisbane and along Trial Bay in the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, South West Rocks is the perfect hideaway for celebrities who crave for privacy during their R & R.
This town was established as a village in 1896 and it is said that it most likely got its name from captains of passing ships who issued instructions to drop anchors at a position 'where the rocks of Trial Bay were kept at their southwest' - said to be the safest place to moor a vessel along this coastline in bad weather.
Population
Over the years, this vacation spot gradually turned into a residential community with a population of a little more than 4,000. Understandably, when holiday season rolls around, the population swells as those who are still tied to the cities seek a brief respite from the hustle and bustle.
The population growth has been steadily rising, with housing options and community facilities meeting the demand, with a light industrial area providing local employment.

Young and starter families have taken an interest in the township because of the following features:
* affordable housing options
* peaceful environment

* availability of various world-class sports facilities
* restaurants
* hotel and motels
* famous fishing and scuba diving spots
* retail stores
* primary schools
* proximity to surf beaches
* tourist attractions like the infamous Trial Bay Gaol and majestic Smoky Cape Lighthouse
Climate
This township is blessed with a sub-tropical climate with pleasant temperatures all-year round. Average temperatures range between a low of 15.6 C (60F) and a high of 23.2C (74F).
Things to do
Aside from having fun along the pristine sandy beaches, there's plenty to do in this town during your free time such as:
* bushwalking in the Hat Head National Park
* scuba diving at Fish Rock Cave
* exploring the Smoky Cape Lighthouse
* playing a game of tennis, squash or a round of golf
