Beautiful Broughton Island
Broughton is an island of sandy beaches, volcanic peaks and stunted, wind-swept vegetation. The sea journey from Nelson Bay is a kaleidoscope of sea cliffs, swells, terns, flying fish, dolphins and salt spray.
Tomaree Headland
Tomaree Headland separates the calmer waters of Port Stephens from the swells of the South Pacific Ocean. The Headland is home to many beautiful areas including the tranquil Myall Lakes, a favourite with campers and houseboat operators. Boats choosing to ply the salt water of Port Stephens have plenty to choose from. There is carefree swimming over the sands of Shoal Bay, Winda Woppa and Dutchies Beach. It is possible to have a picnic, or a wedding on Corrie Island. Mud crabs and flathead await the fisherman in Bundabah Creek. Sea eagles and kites circle over the snug anchorage of Fame Cove. For the explorer, there are the blockhouses and gun emplacements around Tomaree, the convict-built harbour at Tahlee, the huge fig tree on Snapper Island and hectares of oyster farms in Big Swan Bay. Migrating mullet enter the port in such numbers as to darken the water. Mackerel tuna come in from the open sea to feed on schools of small fish. Gannets, terns and gulls dive and swoop to pick up casualties when the tailor are feeding. Breaking the surface to breathe could be a dolphin, turtle, cormorant or fairy penguin.
