forster taree

Good beach driving with entry from back beach. No dune driving but you can drive the whole 9 miles to Forster.

Volkan,
I grew up in Lansdowne.....well the argument about weather I ever grew up at all is aside but, depending on where you want to go etc etc. Mostly beach driving around Halidays and Forster but if you want to head inland a little from Taree out through Wingham and up towards Dingo Tops.... excellent 4WDriving. There are some excellent tracks into the Cells River area, look for Blue Mountain Creek Road, with lots of creek crossings, hills, washouts and much more, with some excellent views of the Manning Valley and plenty of picnic areas. I would consider these a good day trip from Halidays or better still a camp over. Very mountainous areas. You could possibly head into the Barrington Tops area, even more 4WDriving but this would be stretching the friendship as a day trip I think, Just depends on your circumstances and how far you are willing to travel in a day, for me a 12 hour day and several hundred K's is nothing cos I just love driving, but not all are in this boat:-)

Let me know if you would like to know more detail.

I was on holiday there last week. We did some tracks in Wallingat National Park with the Xtrail - all very easy. Nice view over the area from the lookout. Nothing I'd normally call 4wding. We used a national parks brochure and also the Raster 250k maps.

Theres 4wd beach access from the Myall National Park between Bombah Ferry and Tea Gardens.

just remember guys you need a beach permit to drive on any of the beaches in the taree /forster area. south of hallidays point requires a permit from the great lakes council and north of hallidays point requires a permit from the greater taree city council. plenty of great tracks/drives just visit the local tourism centre for maps and advice, been raining here now for 2 days so should be plenty of mud to play in !!
