Port Macquarie is one of the most popular tourist destinations on the NSW coast. An area steeped in history, it was named by John Oxley in 1818 after Governor Macquarie. Oxley recommended the area to Governor Macquarie as a convict penal settlement. In April 1821 three ships arrived with 60 convicts and 40 soldiers of the 48th Regiment to start the settlement. Port Macquarie remained a convict town until 1847 but in 1830 it was opened to free settlers. Evidence of our convict past remain including the convict built St Thomas Church, the Well of the Female Factory in Munster Street (map ref K8) and the Well of the 1840 gaol located within the HW Motel. In addition many headstones from this era can be found in the historic cemetery at the southern end of Horton Street (map ref J9).

Kooloonbung Creek Nature Park (entry through the historic cemetery, map ref J9) �– covering 52 hectares, the Kooloonbung Creek Nature Park preserves an area of natural bushland with 3 kms of walking tracks and boardwalks where visitors can wander and enjoy the beauty of the area and its eco-systems.

Historic Roto House was built in 1891 and belonged to the Flynn family. In the early 1980s it was restored by the National Parks and Wildlife Service and features furnishings and artefacts from the 19th Century. Pack a lunch and picnic in the pleasant surrounds of Macquarie Nature Reserve, or visit the nearby Koala Hospital. Open daily from 10am to 4.30am subject to volunteer availability. Phone (02) 6584 2180 (map ref L10).

The Hospital has a treatment room, six intensive care units, a 24 hour rescue and treatment operation and multiple recovery yards. A good time to visit is during feeding at 3pm. (map ref L10).

The Historic Courthouse was designed by Colonial architect James Barnet and built in 1869 by local builders Butler and Bourne costing £1,091 and 9 shillings. It served the community for 117 years and was restored in 1993. This National Trust of Australia (NSW) classified building is open 10am to 3pm Mon to Sat. Corner of Clarence and Hay Streets (map ref K8).

St Thomas�’ Anglican Church �– Australia�’s fifth oldest church is still in use. Built by convict labour between 1824 and 1828 the walls are constructed of one metre thick hand-made brick. It features an 1857 barrel organ that plays 33 hymns �– the only one of its type in Australia. The Church is open for inspection on weekdays from 9.30am to 12 noon, and 2pm to 4pm (map ref K8).

Tacking Point was named by Matthew Flinders in July 1802. The lighthouse is the third oldest in the country and has recently been restored. It was built in 1879 to warn ships of the rocks near the shore and was converted to automatic operation in 1919. Apart from the interest of the lighthouse itself, Tacking Point with its elevation above the surrounding coastline offers superb views to both the north and the south �– be sure to look out for whales in October and November (map ref Q18).

regionourLake Cathie (pronounced cat-eye) �– Located midway between Port Macquarie and Laurieton, Lake Cathie is centered on a large toddler-friendly saltwater lake and is perfect for young families. With fishing and swimming, picnic tables, BBQ facilities and a playground, it is an ideal spot to spend a day. Cathie Beach adjoins the Lake and is a popular swimming beach. There is also a wonderful walking track that takes in both the lake and the ocean.

Bonny Hills south of Lake Cathie, boasts some of the best coastal views in the region. It is home to the stunning Rainbow Beach, a huge expanse of white sand that goes on forever. The beach is patrolled during summer and has a fantastic picnic and BBQ area with playground equipment. Not only popular for swimming, Rainbow Beach is also an excellent surfing beach for both body boarders and surfers.

Camden Haven is the collective name given for the communities scattered along the Camden Haven River including Laurieton, North Haven and Dunbogan at the mouth of the river, stretching to Kew, Kendall, Lorne and Comboyne further inland.

Small fishing villages bustling with cafes and shopping combined with local charm, the Camden Haven is a wonderful place for a day or a week. It is all about water activities and the lake and river provide plenty of opportunity for fishing, boating and walking along the foreshores. Enjoy the peace and quiet on this magnificent river or grab your fishing rod and throw a line in, you�’ll certainly attract the attention of some quizzical pelicans!

North Brother Mountain overlooks Laurieton, North Haven and Dunbogan villages. At the summit (490 metres), in Dooragan National Park, is the North Brother Lookout (accessible via sealed roads), which is not to be missed offering a superb view over the coastline, the lakes and the mouth of the Camden Haven River. It is one of Australia�’s most impressive coastal panoramas. The area is characterised by large stands of rainforest which is rich in native fauna and flora.Take a picnic as they have excellent facilities. Three walks of varying length and difficulty are available if you are feeling energetic. The mountain supports a wide range of vegetation communities, including some of the best examples of old growth blackbutt forest in NSW and pockets of sub-tropical rainforest that provide habitat for gliders, bats and koalas.

Dunbogan, just past Laurieton, is a little piece of paradise. Beautiful beaches and river fishing make it a unique location catering for

everyone. This is home of Kattang Nature Reserve, which boasts the most magnificent views. Enjoy wildlife and native flowers on one of the two walking tracks (see page 36).

Pilots Beach is a fantastic beach for the kids, as it is naturally protected. They also have excellent BBQ facilities and a playground area with showers to rinse off.

Crowdy Bay National Park - Take the road from Laurieton and head south and you will enter the northern section of Crowdy Bay National Park. This area of parkland was first sighted by Captain Cook in 1770. He saw Aborigines standing on what is now known as Diamond Head and named the promontory Indian Head. In more recent times a man named Ernie Metcalf lived on the headland. He was the subject of �‘The Man on the Headland�’ written by Kylie Tennant. He built a hut for Tennant who subsequently gifted it to the park. It was restored in 1980 and is now one of the park�’s attractions. Diamond Head itself is quite striking. It rises 113 metres and is edged by the wetlands and heathlands of the coastal plain. The park is ideal for bushwalking, birdwatching, fishing (from the rock platforms you can catch groper, bream, tailor and drummer) and swimming.

The Camden Haven continues to the west, with Kew, Kendall, Lorne and beyond. In the rolling hills and quaint towns you�’ll find arts, crafts and various local delicacies that this region has to offer. We have prepared some wonderful day trips on page 36 and 37 so you can truly appreciate this breathtaking area.

Wauchope (pronounced war-hope) - 20 minutes west of Port Macquarie. Surrounded by Australia�’s most extensive blackbutt forest, it was here in the mid 1800s that pioneers made the town famous as a timber town. In honour of that history, Timbertown, one of Australia�’s best heritage parks, has re-created an entire village depicting the way the early pioneers lived. Set amongst 87 acres of natural forest, Timbertown�’s village demonstrates the struggles and achievements of our pioneers. Take a ride on a horse drawn carriage and view the bullock show �– it�’s a great day out. Open daily 9.30am to 3.30pm (4.30pm during school holidays).

The Hastings Farmers Markets are held at the Wauchope Showground on the 4th Saturday of the month. A fantastic opportunity to taste some of the regions fresh and tasty produce that�’s grown right here in the Greater Port Macquarie region. Fresh

fruit and vegetables, fish, chicken, gourmet jams and preserves,

cheeses, macadamia nuts, fresh homemade breads and lots more.

Hinterland - To the west of Port Macquarie is true paradise, with

breathtaking scenery of rolling hills and lush rainforest the Hinterland

is a truly spectacular sight. Popular with bush walkers, four wheel

drive enthusiasts or those just keen to explore. Take time to discover

this region with a day trip or two. Perhaps stay overnight in one of

the many cottages or B&B�’s scattered along the way. We have

outlined some trails you may like to try, or you may prefer to make

up your own, but whatever you do don�’t miss this vast area of natural

beauty. Bellrowan Valley Horseriding has some wonderful trails if you

want to take in the breathtaking views on horseback �– located in

Beechwood, just north of Wauchope.

Comboyne is a tranquil place of rolling green pastures, forests,

streams and waterfalls. Here you�’ll find the Boorganna Nature

Reserve, a large remnant of the forest that once covered the whole

plateau. There is a fantastic 2.7km walking track that starts at the

picnic area where you can see many differing bird species and lush

rainforest plants, allow a few hours for this.

Ellenborough Falls is an amazing sight as water plunges into a

gorge 200m below. There is a viewing platform and a timber walkway

for those who would like to walk to the bottom of the falls. Whilst

it�’s only a 25km drive from Comboyne, the road is mostly unsealed

so allow around 45 minutes for the drive. Don�’t let this put you off

however as it is definitely worth the trip. They have 2 walks, one 500m

to the lower falls, and another 700m to the knoll plus there is a Kiosk

and picnic facilities which makes it a great lunchtime stop.

Lorne and Kendall, whilst a part of the Camden Haven, also forms

part of the Hinterland.

Kendall �‘The Poets Village�’ - A quiet village with a population of 250

people located just off the Pacific Highway, at Kew. Its vibrancy,

diversity and charm fuel Kendall�’s community spirit and have earned

it a reputation as a great place to live and visit. Named after the

Australian poet Henry Kendall it is a growing community, with its

famous golf course, craft and antique stores as well as numerous

other tourist attractions.

The Greater Port Macquarie region offers you a choice of 15 beautiful beaches stretching from Port Macquarie through to Dunbogan. All our beaches are unique so whether you are looking for seclusion, a spot to picnic or a break to hone your surfing skills, one or more will fit the bill.

Beach fishing is very popular with locals and tourists alike. Rocky Beach, Lighthouse Beach, Rainbow Beach and Grants Beach are all popular spots.

For surfing the best spots are Town, Flynns, Lighthouse, Rainbow and North Haven beaches. The Breakwall at Town Beach works best with swell from the south through to the north east. The Middle has some powerful lefts and is for the experienced surfer only while Flagstaff is the protected southern headland of Town Beach. At Flynns Beach, waves can be found with swells from the south to east with offshore north-west winds through to south-east winds. Lighthouse Beach has a protected northern corner that handles north to north-east swell.

Further south, Cathie is part of Lighthouse Beach and is an open beach, which can offer powerful waves with south to east swell. Rainbow Beach at Bonny Hills is a protected southern headland with a right point break and beach breaks. Grants Headland picks up the smallest of swells and is best in the north-east swell with west to north-east winds. North Haven (Grants Beach) offers beach breaks with the best waves south to east swell. Works best with west to south-east winds. The bar can hand out some large waves but tidal flow from the river affects the wave quality. (With thanks to Port Macquarie Surf School for surfing information).

Putting our best foot forward - one of Port Macquarie�’s newest tourist attractions, the Coastal Walk, follows one of the most dramatic and inspiring coastlines in NSW. The 9km easy-grade walk takes in beaches, headlands, historic sites, rainforests and fantastic views.

Starting at Westport Park in town (page 48, map ref H8), all the way to Tacking Point Lighthouse, the walk takes approx 3.5 hours one way and is being hailed as the new �‘must-do�’ activity in the region. Nearly 3kms runs along the coastal boundary of beautiful Sea Acres Nature Reserve.

The Coastal Walk hugs the coastline and features boardwalks, steps for easier access to the headlands, viewing platforms and picnic shelters.

Opportunities abound for viewing dolphins plus there is a variety of birdlife and the annual whale migration from May to November.

The project is the result of a partnership between Port Macquarie Hastings Council and the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), with both organisations contributing infrastructure along the walk.

The Council and the NPWS are installing quality signage on topics such as local history, whale watching and underwater ecology. Maps make it easy for locals and visitors to enjoy and use the walk.

Visitors can also visit Sea Acres Rainforest Centre just up from Shelly Beach, to experience a walk through some glorious coastal rainforest along the timber boardwalk.

The Coastal Walk is mostly easy grade and can be divided into four sections:

A few tips will help to make your walk more enjoyable for you and others:

The fishing possibilities are endless and for all water activities you have found a mecca in the Manning Valley.
