Where being outdoors does wonders
WATERFALL CHASING WITHOUT THE SWEAT
Some things in winter just make more sense. Like chasing waterfalls and having less sweaty bits. Lucky for you, we’ve got plenty of nature that offers sunshine, views and a good drop of falling water to make you go ‘oooh aaah’.
For those who like to dial their winter up or down, winter saltwater therapy thrills aren’t for the timid or heater hugger. But if you prefer to hang in your trackies and uggs, we won’t judge. That’s the beauty of winter - you can be all outdoorsy or just laid backed indoorsy - even a bit of both. Take a look at what you can get up here in winter.
Hello Koalas Sculpture Trail
Hello Koalas Sculpture Trail is the region's most popular tourism attraction, winning 26 major tourism/business awards since launching in 2014. The free, accessible Trail encompasses 89 one-metre fibreglass koala sculptures, hand-painted by local artists, and The Big Koala (2.5 metres).
Artwalk
During ArtWalk, the streets of Port Macquarie come alive with a variety of artworks displayed in galleries, shops, and public spaces. Visitors can enjoy a diverse range of art, including painting, sculpture, photography, live performances, exhibitions, illuminations, artist markets, creative installations, and more. They can also interact with artists, attend workshops and talks, and participate in various art-related activities.
This year, Artwalk will offer an ‘Out of the World’ experience across nine precincts. Why not plan your ArtWalk experience using FREE guides where you be able to see detailed information of artists, installations and performers across all of precincts.
Winter Whale Watching Season
Winter is prime time for whale watching along the Port Macquarie coast, as the whale migration season generally runs from May to November, with the peak months for spotting whales being from the end of June through July. Tacking Point Lighthouse is a perfect spot to see humpback whales on their migration and with recent accessibility upgrades, it's now easier than ever for everyone to enjoy the view.
