• Day 21 - Ballina to Nelson Bay NSW

    June 26, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    Completed 592km today
    Departed: Ballina 7:30am. No Maccas coffee this morning as I missed the turn off just out of Ballina 😢
    Arrived: Nelson Bay 2:50pm. Just enough time to unpack the car, get into comfortable clothes and sit down for the first bounce at 3:20pm 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤
    Driving Conditions: Sunny all day ☀️ a little bit cool to start the day but no wind, perfect!
    Traffic: Easiest drive yet, all dual highway A1 Pacific Hwy for the entire way. Very little traffic early on a little bit from Port Macquarie onwards.
    Stops: Coffs Harbour, finally got my Maccas coffee ☕️. Port Macquarie service centre, as the Hwy bypasses most towns, you get these massive service centres in which to stop at, lots of choice for food & drinks.
    Accomodation: Hotel Nelson at Nelson Bay in the Port Stephens area. Lovely room, awesome comfy bed, nice balcony and a small view of the bay 🌊
