Port Macquarie is a beautiful coastal town which boasts an array of stunning beaches with a moderately sized population of about 40,000 people. This makes this location a great holiday destination, especially for people from larger cities who want to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. It is about 390 kilometres away from Sydney and about 570 kilometres away from Brisbane. Therefore, it is a decent 4 to 5 hours away from Sydney, and even further away from Brisbane so you need to prepare yourself for a few hours of travel. However, this destination can be reached by air, train or bus.
Approximately 19 kilometres west of Port Macquarie is the small railway town of Wauchope, where the economy was largely focused on the timber industry. However, the focus is slowly changing to farming and tourism. Other towns in fairly close proximity to Port Macquarie include Lake Cathie, Crescent Head, Kundabung and Kempsey.
Port Macquarie is a popular location for retirees, as the town not only contains beautiful beaches such as Oxley Beach, Rocky Beach and Flynns Beach, but it also boasts having one of the most comfortable climates in Australia, with temperatures never exceeding 30 degrees Celsius, or going below 15 degrees Celsius in the daytime. Therefore, this town has an advantage compared to the coastal town of Coffs Harbour, where temperatures can get considerably hotter.
