Johanna Griggs travels to New South Wales’ Central Coast to uncover why so many Sydneysiders are making the move north. With the region’s beaches, wilderness and growing housing options, Johanna examines how the area stacks up against major cities for affordability and lifestyle — and what it’s really like living in coastal paradise all year round.
