Day trip from Sydney
G’day!
If you know any great ADs to visit within a couple of hours from Sydney I’d love to know.
Bonus if they have a cafe or restaurant! PA28 or C172 will be the aircraft of choice.
Thanks In advance.

Yep, Moruya is a great place for a day trip. In daylight saving especially take a picnic and park close to the Eastern boundary fence, climb through the barbed wire fence carefully and you're on the beach. A bit of surfing on a pretty nice beach with few others and think yourself lucky. Push off home around 1700 or so and you'll be home well prior EOD. Did it many times over the years.
As you will understand, your options will depend on the time of year and the weather. And within those options you have to decide how much you want it to be a useful NAVEX rather than sightseeing, and how much of an aviation geek you and your passengers are.
If you can’t get over the mountains...
Moruya (as already suggested) or Merimbula is a wonderful coastal sightseeing jolly. Or instead turn left at the blue and go to Old Bar or Luskintyre or Taree. Some useful procedural practice getting through military Romeos, but not so challenging from a navigational perspective.
But if you’re an aviation geek, maybe Wollongong and HARS is far enough?
If you can get over the mountains...
Temora (as already suggested, with muchos aviation geek value) or Cootamundra (short walk to town) or Cowra (usually friendly local flyers at the aerodrome) or Narromine (ditto with the local friendlies as well as a good museum).
