Mate, sadly you are about 35 years too late!
The whole stretch of coast, south of Port Maquarie to Kingscliff was originally opened up by the mineral sand miners.
Tracks went everywhere, great
fishing spots available all along courtesy of the miners.
All those (according to NPWS, natural lagoons) waterholes behind the dunes in so many
places are remnant dredge holes.
We used to chase tailer all the way up from Minnie to Sandon courtesy of the miners tracks. And all the way down to Plommer.
Camp in behind the dunes, sink a perforated rubbish bin down into the sand and hey presto - fresh drinking water!
The whole bluddy coast is locked up now.
Good luck for where ever you can get in, they havent stuffed the beaches yet (wrong time of year for the best
fishing though).
