Neil Uys Blog Site

Lets try agian – last time we got rained out before we even set off. I want to try the camp site out close to Hawksnest Tea Gardens again. As it turns out it will be a public holiday on the 7th of Sep. – No better reason to get out of town.

So we’ll leave on the 6th after work. I have booked 2 powered camp sites for the time being – We can book more – let me know if you are keen ?

From Sydney, it is an easy three hour drive north. It is just 20 minutes from the wonderful country townships of Hawks Nest and Tea Gardens, one hour from Taree, and one hour and fifteen minutes from Newcastle.

Follow the signs to Tea Gardens and Hawks Nest. Then take Mungo Brush Rd from Hawks Nest through the magnificent Myall Lakes National Park for 25 kilometres or approximately 20 minutes. The road is fully sealed.

This brings you to the Bombah Point car ferry for the short trip across to Myall Shores Resort. Drive off the Ferry and you have arrived.

The Ferry is maintained by National Parks and runs between the hours of 8.00am and 6.00pm seven days a week. A fee of $4 per vehicle is levied for use of this service.

Some more directions :

If you want to take the ferry – Use the purpe road and then the orange one – If you don’t want to take the ferry simply stay on the purple road.

If you intend to drive the non-ferry way, so up past Tea Gardens to Bulahdelah and then down again to Bombah Point here is a small town map for Bulahdelah. Follow Ann st. and then Lakes Rd all the way to Bombah Point.

We have the function room from 7 to 12 and there is a night club in the same building that will keep us busy until 3 am the next day.
