The Great Lakes, home to one of the most dazzling stretches of coast you will ever see..
Fancy a unique and wild adventure combining ocean swimming, driving through rugged forests and mountain biking through pristine National Parks? Too strenuous?
Then how about slowing it down a tad and sampling a small part of it as we did … an invigorating walk to a lighthouse, swimming in crystal clear waters, marvelling at open air cathedrals and indulging in fresh oysters.
We were on our homeward journey to Melbourne, having travelled with our camper trailer to Rainbow Beach in Queensland and had decided the Mid North Coast region of NSW would be a great place to camp for a couple of days.
The Great Lakes district is one of the last untouched coastal wildernesses in Australia and we were looking forward to exploring all of its wonders.
In a place defined by its pristine waterways, and a world away from the hustle of city life, the Great Lakes area is where the magnificent eastern dividing range forms a backdrop to a dazzling stretch of the Australian coast.
Just the name conjures up images of spectacular views and waterways but would the place live up to its name?
