Would it be too ambitious if I were to also make a quick detour into Blue Mountains, just to do a quick sightseeing / taking of photos, since I'd have the car for a full day? This would be after using your suggested drive to take the Hume Highway into Sydney.
I'm not sure why you would go all the way to Nowra, because I would take the Macquarie Pass from around Dapto to go to the Southern Highlands.
If you want to go to Nowra then you might as well stop off at the Fitzroy Falls (or one of the other falls around that area) on the way to Moss Vale, but beware - there are gravel roads in that area
To me going west and south/SW from Sydney are 2 separate trips.
Depending on when you start, and the season, it may be too dark to see anything by the time you get to Katoomba. Also you would need to pay the M7 toll to avoid wasting time. Wouldn't you rather spend the day walking around the places you drive to instead of sat inside the car?
