Where should I look for fossils near me? (Australian coast)

[Rhysand4rch]

Hi! I'm brand new to the world of fossils and was wondering if anyone had any pointers on where/how to look for fossils? I live on the central coast, which is about 1.5 hours north of Sydney.

 

I've been trying to do research and looking at geology maps, but just cant seem to understand where the best places would be. I found this Geoscience Australia interactive geology map that seems useful but there's so much in it, it's a little overwhelming. From what i have gathered, I live on triassic sedimentary rocks that as far as i can tell haven't yielded very many fossils, though I might be mistaken. However, further north in Newcastle there are permian age rocks that are known the yield abundant plant fossils. I have tried to just google fossil hunting sites in NSW, but that has proved unhelpful, with most being very far away. 

 

I've hit a bit of a dead end with figuring out where to go, does anyone have any tips? Where should I be looking for this kind of information? Also, what kind of fossils would be easiest for me to find as a beginner?

Thankyou for any help
