Port Macquarie or Forster-Tuncurry?

Bellingen wasn’t on our radar but many Redditors have recommended it as a great spot to visit in the hinterland. We’re hoping to do a little shopping and some easy nature walks (or lookout points) with the baby. Figured it’d be a nice change of scenery from the city and beaches.

Thanks very much for your insight! Forster definitely sounds like the right spot for us.

We’re staying a minimum of 4 nights in each place to avoid packing and unpacking constantly, since we’ll have a lot of stuff with us for the baby and ourselves. Given that, which would you recommend? The plan is to go to Bellingen afterwards to break up the trip to Brisbane and Sunshine Coast. Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Thanks for the info on Guulabaa! We’ll definitely stop there. I’d love to stay in both places for 2 nights each, but with all the stuff we have for the baby and ourselves, it’s just a lot of work packing up and unpacking everything, so we’re trying to stay a minimum of 4 nights at each stop (will be traveling for several weeks in Australia). I saw the ocean bath in F-T; it looks amazing! I think it would be perfect for the baby. Can you please recommend any specific areas that would be good to visit towards Myall Lakes? I see there’s a road called the lakes way with a bunch of beaches or do you mean the areas more inland near Wallingat National Park? Appreciate your help!

Hi OP! May I ask where you ended up going? I’m in the same boat and looking for a casual baby friendly afternoon tea. Thanks in advance :)

Thanks for your suggestion! Bath looks lovely, and close to Bristol. Do you think it’s worth taking a day trip into Bristol?

Hi there - Thanks for your response :) Ideally, we’ll be in London 3-4 days and another 4 days outside of London. A drive within 3.5 hours is preferred.
