Sydney to Byron Bay

Head up to the north coast of New South Wales and discover beautiful, uncrowded beaches, tranquil rivers and lakes, World Heritage listed rainforest and volcanic hinterland. Newcastle, known for its surf breaks also had a picturesque 5km coastal walk, the Bathers Way.

Both Port Stephens and Port Macquarie further up the coast have a myriad of things to see and do; Port Stephens is a hotspot for dolphin watching; and Port Macquarie has the world’s first dedicated Koala Hospital.

With its natural beauty and plethora of adventure activities, Coffs Harbour is a fantastic destination for families, and during whale-watching season from May to November, it’s possible to take a tour to watch the humpback whales splashing around.

Byron Bay is one of Australia’s favourite coastal playgrounds. Boasting both beautiful beaches and lush rainforests, it’s a beautiful place to relax, explore and indulge.
