G'gay Guys
Well will soon be back in Brisbane from the honeymoon and have just been told we have to shoot down to Newcastle!!!
So it looks as if I will have enough time to drop off the luggage, play with the dog for 5 minutes and off we go. Did manage to get her to agree to taking the XJSC to the trip.
So the question that I have for the Southern brethren is.......any good places to take my baby whilst we are there???

Pete

 

Hello Pete. Hearty congratulations . . . new wife; new car . . . but you realize all great things come in 3s. Anyway, best wishes to you and your wife for your upcoming trip to Newcastle.

About halfway there (and back also), you will pass through Coffs Harbour, home to the highly recommended Denis Spagnolo in Lytton Street. Dennis is an independent specialist and always has several Jags undergoing service or repairs. Hope you don't need him . . . but file it away for reference.

As for sights and sounds, I'll leave others to wax lyrical about the coalfields capital further south in Newcastle . . . although driving via Pacific Hwy rather than New England will shield you from all the muck that used to be once beautiful Hunter Valley wine country.

By comparison, any coastal stop along the NSW mid north coast has lovely beaches, but my pick goes to South West Rocks and Trial Bay . . . quiet, clean, scenic and a little known outpost of convict and wartime history. Coffs Harbour and its Jetty area has great restaurants, especially if your taste runs to traditional Indian fare.

Best wishes,

Ken

 

You're a great salesman Ken, Almost got me traveling down just to see the sights. :-)
Cheers, Doug.
