Wednesday we left the Hunter Valley making our way to Hawks Nest, a small township adjacent the northern head of Port Stephens. Once we had double lanes out on the Princess Hwy and north of Newcastle the traffic settled down and we were able to travel at our own speed without worrying about what traffic was held up behind us. Only a short trip 90kls which took us through the delightful seaside township Tea Gardens, have since learnt that John Howard has a holiday home there. I am sure it must be along the boulevard opposite Jimmy's Beach as the homes there were stunning.
Our destination was a few klms out of Hawks Nest at the Myall River Primitive Camp. As soon as we entered the camp ground we could see that it was definitely a place we wanted to stay, lucky for us there were still a few areas to choose from along the river bank. It didn't take us long to get the chairs out and begin enjoying the serenity of the river and bird life.
This was an amazing camp absolute tranquillity, ended up staying for three nights and could have stayed much longer. Thoroughly enjoyed the camp fire each night that our neighbours shared with us, also watching the dolphins swimming past just on dusk and the daily visit from Pete the Pelican.
