Day 2

Hunter Valley - Port Macquarie (269 kms)
Today depart the Hunter Valley and travel through Cessnok, Kurri Kurri to Raymond Terrace where you join the Pacific Highway. Just north of Bulahdelah, there will be a turn-off to Forster and Tuncurry.
This route is only slightly longer and the road is windier than the direct highway route, however, it is very scenic and we suggest that you take this option. On the way to Foster, you will pass Smiths Lake. The drive to Forster and Tuncurry is quite windy, but very pretty.
Following the coastline, pass through the resort towns of North Haven, Bonnie Hills and Lake Cathie to arrive at Port Macquarie and your overnight accommodation at the Rydges Port Macquarie.
