Such a beautiful beach, family friendly, even with little kids. Perfect for a job from one end to the other. Highly recommend seeing the sites if you are visiting the area.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 45 reviews
Planning a visit to Hunter Valley Wine Country and hoping to take the road less travelled? Why not enjoy a scenic drive on Tourist Drive 33, along the Great North Road or Convict Trail, through the beautiful NSW countryside. Food and wine, adventure activities, nature and wildlife, walking and cycling, festivals and events, history and culture.

While it is faster to take the M1 motorway it is much more enjoyable to take Tourist Drive 33 as its a great drive from Cessnock to the Central Coast. Its an easy drive and you get to enjoy the village of Wollombi on the way.

Reviewed By DestinationsJourney - Hunter Valley, Australia
This is a historically important spot in Newcastle, although most of it is now gone. This was the place of the first wharf, where coal was exported and ships unloaded cargo. Now it's a great spot to relax, have a nice walk and take in the views of Nobby's Headland, Stockton Beach and the Harbor.

8. Big Kookaburra

Reviewed By TanG68 - Buderim, Australia
Now, this is a very good-looking kookaburra that is photogenic in any light as we stayed a couple of days at the Kurri Motor Inn and we couldn’t help photographing the big bird every time we walked past, whether it was morning, noon or dusk. Love that the town has a kookaburra theme - every mural in town has a kookaburra in it, the Bowls club has Kookaburr’s bar and grill and there is this big lovely kookaburra in a shady park with nice gardens and clean public toilets. Worth a visit if you’re in the area.

A break in the rain on the weekend got us out for a coastal walk and we lingered here as others were saying there were whales and dolphins swimming in close. We saw 3 whales and one of the largest pods of dolphins we’d seen, must’ve been about 60 of them. Truly incredible.
