As the main highway now bypasses most towns along the east coast of New South Wales, travellers must leave the beaten path to seek out the authentic coastal charm that lies on the coastline.
Returning from the National Multicultural Festival, our journey led us to discover the hidden gem of Port Macquarie, a stopover that exceeded expectations and proved to be a highlight of our trip.
Once considered a convenient waypoint between Sydney and Brisbane, the Port Macquarie region has undergone a transformation, evolving into a breathtaking destination in its own right. Its allure extends to retirees, families, couples, and nature enthusiasts seeking a holiday experience enriched with gourmet delights.
Nestled amidst the scenic beauty of sparkling beaches adorned with pockets of lush rainforest, Port Macquarie boasts a unique ecosystem that is a haven for wildlife, particularly koalas. The renowned Koala Hospital stands as a testament to the region’s commitment to preserving its natural heritage, offering care to these beloved endangered creatures.
Visitors to Port Macquarie are treated to a blend of coastal wonders and food delights, making it a destination that captivates the senses and leaves a lasting impression on all who venture there.
