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.

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.
