On the road.Leaving Sydney for Port Stephens via Cardiff

In Sydney we packed up our bags and picked up our hire car and it was time to hit the road.

Leaving Sydney we headed South and we made the 2 hour drive to Port Stephens passing through the small town of Cardiff.
The small town of Cardiff was not on our plan, but we had to make a stop after a place named after our hometown in te UK.

 
Arriving in Port Stephens we booked a half day cruise out on Nelson Bay and we saw a number of dolphins.

The  boat trip around Nelson Bay, departing from Port Stephens  was an unforgettable journey across the crystal-clear waters of the New South Wales coastline. As you board the boat at the marina in Port Stephens, the salty breeze greets you, carrying the fresh scent of the sea .

As we headed deeper into Nelson Bay, the landscape opens up to reveal sweeping views of the coastline. Rugged headlands and sandy beaches stretch as far as the eye can see, with small islands dotting the horizon. 





In the evening  visited the local golf club for a quick drink on the impressive club house balcony and as dusk fell a a troop of Kangeroos gathered around the 18th green to graze.
