From Port Macquarie we drove to Crescent Head, a nice beach next to a small holiday town, but nothing that special. We had lunch and then drove along the Belmore River through very pretty landscapes. Later on we stopped at South West Rocks and found the place nicer than Crescent Head, very pretty beach where we went for a swim. Then we checked out a nice lookout at Nambucca Heads and drove to Doringo via the Waterfalls way, a very scenic road. Next to Doringo we went to a nice lookout and afterwards drove back to the Pacific Highway to get to Coffs Harbour. In Coffs Harbour we were very nicely surprised to find out that the YHA we where staying at was great. We had a very relaxing evening enjoying the great facilities offered by this hostel.
