600kms is too much! South West Rocks to Lake Macquarie

Hopefully, the second half of this adventure riding trip from the Gold Coast back to Sydney is not as damp as the first half. Starting in South West Rocks, I'm taking the coastal road to Crescent Head, then I try the shortcut of Maria River Road to Port Macquarie, find a fantastic lookout near Camden Haven, then via Forster and the Lakes back to Lake Macquarie.
