The next stop on our roadie found us in the charming bohemian town of Bellingen. We were delighted with the old world charm of the town boasting cute quaint shops with unique wares. There is a strong emphasis on organic here and we loved browsing the market stalls and sampling turmeric lattes and chai. Art galleries abound and you could easily spend time enjoying the artworks set in federation style buildings and we spied a converted church or two.
The magical Dorrigo Forest is a short drive away and we enjoyed a pint at the pub after our long cool forest walk. From the forests, we visited the exquisite seaside town of Uranga. Here we trod the boardwalk to see where the river joined the ocean and were rewarded with a pod of dolphins swimming back to the ocean as the tide ebbed.
Do take time to visit these gems on the mid-north coast, they are well worth it.
