Sydney to Newcastle Coastal Explorer
Here is the updated plan for your trip up the coast! I've swapped out the museum stop on Day 5 for a scenic 360-degree lookout and a relaxed riverside vibe in Maitland instead.

Heads Up
- 1. Check the tide times for Caves Beach (Day 3) and the Bogey Hole (Day 7) to make sure you can actually get inside the caves and swim safely!
