Sand Dunes @ Port Stephans

It was a sudden plan, with last minute accomadation booking (was a good one). Joji n Aparna, Pratap n Sumi n Rohit, ram and Us were the team this time. It was a great weekend, we spent a lot of time in the beach (over 3 hrs !!) and did sandboarding in the dunes (it was fun to slide down, but walking up tested our stamina) and a half day 4WD trip (a tag along - our first time, own jeep). We also went dolphin watching (in wild) and returned wet on the bum boat (sitting on a net behind the boat !!).

Port Stephens is located approximately 2.5 hours drive north of Sydney, in New South Wales, Australia.

The Stockton Bight Sand Dunes need to be seen to be believed . . . covering an area of over 2,500 hectares along the 32km long Stockton Beach. Dunes of brilliant white sand climb up to 30 metres high with slopes up to 60º (just waiting for some sandboarding action).
