More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You slide out of Sydney before the city fully wakes, the air-conditioned LandCruiser humming as the coastline opens up and eucalyptus-scented hills give way to long, pale beaches. Salt wind dares you to look up from the road and into the blue: that stretch of coast—Wyong to Nabiac, then on to Port Macquarie—moves at a rhythm of surf, lighthouse beams and sheltered estuaries.
