Port Stephens!

Port Stephens

After Seal Rocks, we drove our way down to a peninsula known as Port Stephens, located just above Newcastle.

We stayed in a campsite at One Mile (as shown on the map) and it was a great site - full of wildlife! Within the campsite we found a wild koala and an extremely friendly possum, as well as a large beach and imposing weather:

While in Port Stephens we visited a few places; mostly the local beaches and nearby towns and villages. 

 This is Charlotte at Fingal Bay. In the background is Fingal Spit - a peninsula/island that is covered at high tide but has a sandbar connecting it to the mainland in low tide. It is extremely dangerous to cross the sandbar; 15 people have died there recently. It was very strong surf when we went, and we didn't even think about crossing.

 At Nelson Bay we found loads of cockatoos!

In the evening we went to Soldier's Point to watch the sunset.
