Have you ever experienced a road trip? Driving along with the windows down, the breeze flowing through the car and the sun warming your cheeks.Travelling by car is one of my favourite ways of sightseeing. The East Coast of Australia is a perfect destination for a road trip. 98% of Australia's population live on the coast so there are many wonderful cities and beautiful towns to visit on this drive.
If you ever find yourself taking a drive along the East Coast I highly recommend making a stop in Port Macquarie, NSW. Only a 4 hour drive from Sydney and a 6 hour drive from Brisbane.
What was my favourite thing to do in Port Macquarie? The camel rides at Lighthouse Beach, of course!
Lighthouse beach is 8km (or 4mi) south of Port Macquarie's Town Green. There are plenty of signs so it is easy to find whether you are driving in from the north or south.
I would like you to meet Obama (pictured above) the cheeky 14 year old camel who doesn't like flies. The camel safari was such an unbelievable experience. The ride was a 20 minute scenic roundtrip and as we were meandering down the beach we spotted dolphins riding the waves close to shore. What a sight! Dolphins are often seen playing in the water and if you are visiting Lighthouse Beach in the winter months you may even get the chance to see whales as they pass by!
Camel Safaris operate from Sunday to Friday every week - 930am - 1pm (weather permitting). To ride the camels it costs an adult $30AUD and a child $25AUD.
For more information like extended hours during summer holidays and a map I found their website helpful.
