Re: Suggestions for traveling up the East Coast?
Ginny,
Port Macquarie is an easy 4 hour drive from Sydney, on good motorway for most of it. A really nice town with good facilities for the kids. Climate is great too, around 20 in Winter and up to 32 in Summer.
Stay at the Northpoint Apartments, they are right near the cheap caravan parkbut heaps better for a godo nights sleep. Got a heated pool, table tennis tables and BBQ facilities all there. Linen supplied etc. Splurge a littel and stay in the penthouse (Apartment 902) I stayed in it and I promise you wont regret staying in that one. The views are heavenly !
Try their website (trust me the views from Apartment 902 are even better than what's on the website)

Have fun driving and watch your speed ! the coppers in Aus aren't as nice as ours.

Hi there folks,
Not long now till we validate our visas. Heading out in June for about 6 weeks and will be based initially in Sydney. We're hoping to spend about two weeks traveling up the east coast area to check out Brisbane and the surrounding.
We're hoping to take about two days to get to Brisbane and I was wondering if anyone has got any suggestions for places to stop over on the way. We're also going to be based in Brisbane for about a week and would be interested in renting self catering accomodation.
Any suggestions on accomodation and things to do (two kids, 5 and 2) would be appreciated.
Cheers
Ginny
