SENIORS CARD TRAVEL: Kempsey, Port Macquarie, Lake Cathie, North Haven, Kendall. XPT and buses.

On this trip, I started my day aboard the 7:15 am NSW TrainLink XPT from Macksville to Kempsey. I traveled using a Country Pensioner Excursion (CPE) ticket, which I booked a few days before departure. Thanks to my Seniors Card, the ticket cost just $2.50. Upon arrival in Kempsey, I caught the local Busways #340 bus service down to Port Macquarie. From there, I took Busways #333 to Kendall, a scenic route passing through Lake Cathie, Bonny Hills, North Haven, Camden Haven, and Laurieton. At Kendall, I used my Seniors Card once more to book my return trip to Macksville. I arrived back at Macksville at 1.47 pm on board the XPT that departed Sydney that same morning at 7.15 am. Total cost for the day’s travel? Just $7.50!
