After a very leisurely start to the day at Myall Lakes, we ventured a few minutes up the road to visit Bombah Point Eco Cottages. Duncan and Suzie spent a few hours showing us their lovely set up in the bush…koalas, peaceful bush, private cottages…a beautiful thoughtful eco business, run by hospitable and friendly people.
We hit the highway and travelled through to Port Macquarie…booking in late in the afternoon at the Breakwater Caravan park, scoring a site right next to the water - we look out our bedroom window to the artistically panted breakwall rocks and pedestrian path that leads into town (2 mins) or around to Town Beach and a good walk….which is not happening this morning as 45 mm of rain fell overnight as NSW suffers flooding…..

We decided to stay another night and take a drive west and then south and back along the coast to Port Mac. Wauchope was a pleasant rural town - bigger than I thought. The trip from Wauchope to Wingham was a beautiful surprise. This is timber country, and if it isn’t timber, the paddocks are emerald green. We drove over tiny one lane roads, with what looked like hedging along the sides - protecting a avocado and blueberry fields. Steadily climbing up - we knew it was a back road but were not quite prepared for quiet how basic it would be. We hit dirt and then drove through the most magnificent rainforest and areas…tall gums - 30-40 metres high, straight as a telegraph pole (about the same width) towered above while it did look like there had been fire and the tangled undergrowth sat low. At times we travelled along ridges - looking left and right to very steep drops. At times there were tree ferns- huge clusters of them standing 10 foot tall…just beautiful!
