The Lower North Coast starts at Newcastle
and heads north to Port
Macquarie. Although a relatively small section,
it is very beautiful with glorious beaches and plenty of
activities to choose from, both on the land and in the water.
Newcastle is an industrial town at the south of the Lower
North Coast. |

Just a short drive north and you arrive
at the fabulous Port Stephens.
The port’s area is actually larger than the Sydney Harbour and is a very interesting and diverse place to visit, with
its coastal towns and bushland walks. About an hours drive
inland from Port Stephens, and you will come to the fabulous
wine growing region of the Hunter
Valley. |
|
Further north along the coast is Wallis
Lake, bordered by Forster and Tuncurry. Both places are
within walking distance of each other and along with good
beaches, also offer some great fishing spots. Forster is
larger than Tuncurry and has several pleasant beaches, as
well as conveniently situated accommodation.

|
 |
Tuncurry also offers several motels and
a couple of campsites where you can stay. Public transport
runs fairly frequently to both places. CountryLink operates trains from Sydney to Broadmeadow with connecting coaches, several times daily. BUSWAYS offers a direct service to Sydney and Greyhound also operates a daily service.

North from this area is the farming land of the Manning
Valley. Taree is a large farming town within this area.
It is situated alongside the Manning River, which is backed
by an attractive park. Within the park are some beautiful
flower beds, as well as a large War Memorial.
There are also a number of shops and restaurants along
the main street in Taree. Due to the fact that it is close
to the highway, makes it a great place to stop on your
journey north or south along the coast.
|
The pretty timber town of Wingham is just north
of Taree. Wingham Brush is a beautiful rainforest which is worth
visiting. There are also a number of small coastal resorts.
