Just north of Taree on the mid north coast of NSW.
About 3-4 hours north of Sydney. Nice area too. Have sailed a few spots south of there but havent ventured to Harrington. After seeing that it should be a place to check out.

Just south of Port Macquarrie. Looks like a speed run to me if they ever get strong East to South East. Photos on Google Earth are interesting.

Not sure of other directions

Yep - for sure

Got my 2-sec PB there (still well below 30)

The run up at Harrington should be OK in sthly but you have to watch the tide running in & out
