Hallidays Point, New South Wales

Midway between Taree and the Great Lakes region is the coastal area of Halliday's Point/Diamond Beach.

The walk encompasses striking coastal landforms as well as rare tracts of coastal rainforest. The walk takes in two headlands - Black Head and Red Head and is joined by Black Head Beach. Brochures about the walks are available from the Visitors Centre in Taree. There is a great range of accommodation at Halliday's Point/Diamond Beach including caravan parks, resorts, holiday units, B&B's and cottages.
