Jolly Nose Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Peace and quiet!
If you are into pretty hectic four wheel driving and adventure then head to this lookout/mountain when you are on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales Australia! It is a steep climb in your four wheel drive vehicle and not for the faint hearted but is only a short drive so worthwhile doing it if your keen. There is no actual lookout but a short scramble through the bush brings you to a very high rock ledge with this view! Lovely spot for sunset :)
The Queens Lake walking trail can be accessed at any point around the lake, and is well worth the trek. We were here in May however can well imagine the kids playing on these rope swings in January/ February in the summer sun. Beautiful part of the NSW coast. #roadtrip

Golden first light at sunrise at Lake Cathie on the Mid North Coast of NSW near Port Macquarie. Beautiful pigface wildflowers on the sand dunes looking east over the ocean.

This 200 year old Red Bloodwood Tree is the largest Red Bloodwood tree in the Southern Hemisphere. It is affectionately named "Old Bottlebutt". Its very impressive not only for it's size and age but it's unusually wide base. A wonderful sight to see. #mothernature
