Approximately 2.5 hours drive north of Sydney lies Port Stephens – a beautiful coastal area of NSW complete with everything from pristine beaches to sand dunes and national parks. I had a short break and went and enjoyed the beautiful area – camera in hand as always!

One of the best activities was the walk (more of a hike really!) up Tomaree Mountain. The walk is quite challenging as it is a steep incline – but the view is well worth it! Once you are up there, you have incredible views over all of the bays that make up Port Stephens.

Port Stephens showcases so much beauty and inspires me to take my time, frame my photos and enjoy the beauty of nature that is all around us. A sample of some of my favourite images can be seen below. As always, the full image album can be seen here.
