Forster to Coffs Harbour road trip: Distance, time & best stops

Forster to Coffs Harbour road trip: Port Macquarie to Kempsey

The Port Macquarie to Kempsey leg of the road trip heads past Limeburners Creek National Park, Goolawah National Park and surfer pilgrimage site Crescent Head before reaching Kempsey.

Here you’ll find the Cassegrain Wines cellar door and the Slim Dusty Centre , devoted to a peculiarly Australia country music star.

For Kempsey accommodation, try the riverside Park Drive Motel or the Motel Kempsey, which has a children’s pool.

The next section, from Kempsey to Coffs Harbour, is better tackled with frequent detours to the coast.

Next section: Kempsey to Nambucca Heads.
