Driving the Legendary Pacific Coast (day 6): Port Macquarie & Forster

21 September 2018

Last Updated on 9 February 2021

On the last day of our Pacific Coast road trip, Diana and I finally treat ourselves to a bit of a sleep-in (7am is now considered a sleep-in, apparently), waking up in Port Macquarie to sunny spring weather and empty beaches. We were originally scheduled to be back in Wollongong this afternoon for more work, but as often happens with research, all of our plans were scrapped by a coach at the last minute and we now have the whole day to make our way back along the coast. Even so, we are anticipating 5hrs on the road, travelling from Port Macquarie to Forster in the Great Lakes region before returning to Sydney, so we try not to dawdle too long in town before we hop in the car (because traffic is bound to get manic in the city).

While Diana heads off to get a coffee from a nearby cafe, I scamper down to Town Beach to check out the colourfully painted breakwall, much like the one we loved so much in Nambucca Heads. Impressive from our hotel room window, it is even more spectacular up close, providing vivid personality to the lovely beach. Although Port Mac is a popular family holiday destination in the summer months, it feels like I have the coastline almost entirely to myself this Tuesday morning in September, which definitely adds to the feeling of serenity.

Forster

Before long, Diana returns with her coffee and we set out on the 90min drive to Forster, the only major stop we have planned for the day. Neither of us know much about this town, but a number of people over the years have lauded it as a picture-perfect lakefront destination and Diana seems to have gotten a similar recommendation, so we’ve thrown it into the itinerary in the hopes that we will stumble across some surprise gems. Our initial approach is certainly promising, as we drive over the impossibly clear and beautifully blue Coolongolook River, quickly parking and hopping out to take in the views up close.

Looking for humpback whales from Bennetts Head Lookout

Bennetts Head Lookout

From the centre of Forster, Diana navigates us to a lookout she read about online— it’s hard to go wrong with a viewpoint, so we both figure it’s a pretty good place to start. Still, we are blown away by the rugged coastal beauty, so different than I had anticipated given the calm river we just strolled along below. There are about half a dozen locals at Bennetts Head, all with binoculars pressed against their faces on the lookout for humpbacks travelling south on their way back to Antarctica, and it doesn’t take long before they are hollering and (attempting to) point out the whales for us. As much as we both love seeing whales, though, it’s hard to get excited about an indistinct splash in the distance when we don’t have any binoculars ourselves, so we soon move on to the other smaller lookouts along the coast, enjoying the scenery and the wild headland instead.

One Mile Beach

As we walk further around the headland, we eventually come out of the trees and onto a beach that literally knocks me speechless. Framed by a few small hills on the neighbouring headland, the beach is an endless crescent of white sand and cerulean water, probably one of the loveliest beaches I’ve ever seen in my life and yet there are literally no people whatsoever (I think we see 3 people over the course of the hour we spend at the beach). If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times, but you’d struggle to find beaches like this anywhere else in the world (gorgeous and empty), and it’s just one of the many reasons why this country is so incredible. The scenery is certainly not wasted on me or Diana, both running around like headless chickens in all directions, flopping in the sand and scouting out every inch of coastline.

Just when we think One Mile Beach couldn’t get any better, Eagle-Eye Diana (a well-earned nickname) spots a family of humpbacks immediately off the coast, so close to the shore that I wonder how they are navigating around the rocks. We follow the whales for a few minutes before another family appears at the front of the headland, and then finally see a mum and two babies swimming through the bay, splashing and playing as they make their way south. Awe-struck and screaming at a volume usually reserved for bungy jumping or murder, we watch as the mum breaches and her two babies follow suit, as if she’s showing them how to jump and they’re having a go themselves. I don’t capture anything more than a measly splash on camera, but it’s truly one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen and I can’t even describe the excitement of experiencing such a natural yet unbelievable performance from our sand mound at the beach.

We watch the whales as they travel all the way out of the bay before we finally turn around and head back to the car, and I’ll admit to feeling a little smug as we pass the whale watchers back at Bennetts Head with their binoculars, all of whom have missed the incredible show we just witnessed at the beach. Time and time again on this trip, we have found ourselves in the right place at the right time to see wildlife that no one else sees, and I’m genuinely beginning to wonder where all this luck is coming from. Either way, it has made for daily “once-in-a-lifetime” experiences, so I won’t question it too much.

Crystal clear Wallis Lake

Wallis Lake & Booti Booti National Park

Riding on the excitement of our morning whale spotting, Diana and I opt to take the scenic Lakes Way drive out of Forster, which winds us through Booti Booti National Park and past some of the crystalline lakes the region is known for. We whizz by many of the most incredible views, screaming out the car window, but we do find a couple spots to stop and stick our toes in the water. Both times, we find ourselves completely alone, wading across the silky white sand, wishing we could just pitch a tent here and delay our return to the city. Eventually, though, we have to call it a day and settle in for the remaining 3.5hr drive home, all of which is spent reminiscing over the places we’ve seen and mentally planning return trips to all of our favourite spots (it’s a long list).

  • Back in Jordan for the next couple weeks to run our first group trip in the Middle East & we couldn’t be happier to be returning to one of our all-time favourite places!!! 🤩😭

We spent a month falling in love with this country last year, from the remote Jordan Trail to hidden corners of Petra that most tourists miss to heart-pounding scrambles in Wadi Rum, and we distilled it all down into the perfect 10-day adventure itinerary for those who want something a little MORE than the same old, mass-produced tour experience.

We’re also incredibly proud to be partnering with local adventure pioneers @experiencejordanadventures to deliver a uniquely epic experience for our travellers, while maximising the money that stays LOCAL and ensuring we are able to support communities in the most ethical & sustainable ways. 

Our partners are paving the way for responsible adventure tourism here in Jordan, providing language education & guide training to Bedouin communities, ensuring continued skill development & employment— and it’s a mission we are very passionate about supporting on this and all our future group trips.

Stay tuned for trip updates in my stories as we explore magical Jordan this week! And definitely consider joining us next spring for round two 👀🤩
  • Is this Europe’s most underrated hiking destination?!

📍Montenegro

  • MONTENEGRO ROAD TRIP BUDGET 🚗💸

We spent 2 incredible weeks exploring Montenegro this July— swipe to see everything we spent for 2 people (in USD)!

A few notes about our travel style: we are “budget conscious” but no longer true “budget travellers”, in that we stay in private rooms with private bathrooms, love eating out, and are willing to splurge on the occasional activity if we feel it’s worth it! 

You can definitely do Montenegro on a tighter budget, but we feel this budget here is ideal for a high-value trip that prioritises experiences and comfort without totally going for broke.

🔗 see our recommended itinerary at: brookebeyond.com/montenegro-itinerary

⁉️ Please let me know if this post is interesting to you and/or what other travel finance content you’d like to see! I’ve been tracking every dollar spent in a custom spreadsheet since I started full-time travel 5 years ago (!!!), so if this is something people are keen on, it’s easy for me to start sharing more budget breakdowns for the destinations we visit ☺️

  • off the beaten path in the mountains of Montenegro!

Montenegro already flies under the radar when it comes to European hiking destinations, but this was the one place where we truly had it ALL to ourselves:

📍 Maganik Mountains, Montenegro

This compact limestone range in the centre of the country is virtually unknown, yet filled with spectacular karst formations and dramatic landscapes that rival the Dolomites! 

I had to do some real deep-diving online to find out info about this place, but a few locals were kind enough to share their advice on the best route AND a solid guide, who led us all the way to the summit of Trešteni vrh 🤩

  • The magic of Durmitor National Park 🏔️🇲🇪✨

Tucked away in northern Montenegro, Durmitor is a rugged alpine wonderland of limestone peaks, flowering meadows, and deep canyons— Dolomites vibes, but without the crowds, and honestly one of the most breathtaking national parks we’ve ever explored!!

✨ Best things to do in Durmitor:

Bobotov Kuk (2,523m) – 10km return trail to the park’s highest peak with ~950m of gain, rocky switchbacks, and a fun summit scramble

Mt Prutaš (2,393m) – 9km return hike with ~750m of gain, famous for its folded limestone cliffs and meadows bursting with wildflowers

Drive the Durmitor Ring Road – a 76km alpine loop with jagged peaks, tiny villages, and photo stops around every bend

  • Dolomites…or Montenegro? 🤔

In search of more undiscovered/hidden gem hiking destinations in Europe this summer, we were SO blown away by the mountains in Montenegro, which honestly reminded us of the Dolomites! And yet, there’s barely anyone on these trails 🤯 

Did you have any idea Montenegro looked like this??

  • postcards from croatia ✨

as this year’s iteration of our annual gals’ trip, mum and I explored the pearl of the adriatic

with all her inland corners and wild coastlines, cobbled lanes and old city walls, sparkling coves and family vineyards, it’s no secret croatia is beautiful— but I feared it might be slightly overhyped

yet we spent every day of our 2-week trip in constant awe… frankly, I’m not sure it’s hyped *enough*

and I tried my best to capture just a little bit of the magic on film 📸

Our partners are paving the way for responsible adventure tourism here in Jordan, providing language education & guide training to Bedouin communities, ensuring continued skill development & employment— and it’s a mission we are very passionate about supporting on this and all our future group trips.

Stay tuned for trip updates in my stories as we explore magical Jordan this week! And definitely consider joining us next spring for round two 👀🤩
Back in Jordan for the next couple weeks to run our first group trip in the Middle East & we couldn’t be happier to be returning to one of our all-time favourite places!!! 🤩😭

MONTENEGRO ROAD TRIP BUDGET 🚗💸

We spent 2 incredible weeks exploring Montenegro this July— swipe to see everything we spent for 2 people (in USD)!

A few notes about our travel style: we are “budget conscious” but no longer true “budget travellers”, in that we stay in private rooms with private bathrooms, love eating out, and are willing to splurge on the occasional activity if we feel it’s worth it! 

You can definitely do Montenegro on a tighter budget, but we feel this budget here is ideal for a high-value trip that prioritises experiences and comfort without totally going for broke.

🔗 see our recommended itinerary at: brookebeyond.com/montenegro-itinerary

⁉️ Please let me know if this post is interesting to you and/or what other travel finance content you’d like to see! I’ve been tracking every dollar spent in a custom spreadsheet since I started full-time travel 5 years ago (!!!), so if this is something people are keen on, it’s easy for me to start sharing more budget breakdowns for the destinations we visit ☺️

off the beaten path in the mountains of Montenegro!

Montenegro already flies under the radar when it comes to European hiking destinations, but this was the one place where we truly had it ALL to ourselves:

📍 Maganik Mountains, Montenegro

This compact limestone range in the centre of the country is virtually unknown, yet filled with spectacular karst formations and dramatic landscapes that rival the Dolomites! 

I had to do some real deep-diving online to find out info about this place, but a few locals were kind enough to share their advice on the best route AND a solid guide, who led us all the way to the summit of Trešteni vrh 🤩
