About a 30 minute drive from Medowie. If you feel energetic, try a climb up Mount Tomaree. It's a bit of a hike but well worth it when you reach the top. You'll have uninterrupted views of Port Stephens and all the beautiful surrounding beaches, across to Tea Gardens and Hawkes Nest and down the Stockton Sand Dunes
