If you are heading north we recommend that you take a week to visit the majority of surf beaches along this coastal region. From Nelson Bay to the border of Queensland you will experience a slice of life not found anywhere else in Australia. Surfers travel from all over the country for the opportunity to camp at Seal Rocks, Crescent or South West Rocks. Crystal blue waters, perfect waves, beach shacks, Mrs Palmers surf wax and a Tracks magazine. Are few key ingredients for the perfect coastal holiday.

Myall lakes, home of the surfers pilgrimage at Seal Rocks is another unspoiled National Parks area thanks to the rallying of many locals to keep it that way. Help us to keep it clean and keep it green. Happy camping!  

North west from Taree you will find the magnificent Ellenborough Falls, 160 m-high these falls are the north coasts most impressive.  North Brother mountain at Laurieton just 25 south of Port Macquarie is one of Australia's major flying sites for Paragliding and hang glidingas with $250,000 spent recently to renovate the mountain look out.
