There are a lot of farming communities along this road trip and one farm that's definitely worth visiting is Ricardoes Tomatoes and Strawberries, just outside of Port Macquarie. Their state of the art greenhouses span two acres and features five varieties of strawberries and eight types of tomatoes. Visitors are welcome to pick their own berries — entry is free and you pay for what you pick by weight. Bookings are not required.

Today's swim stop is Valla Beach which is lesser known but still beautiful. As well as the actual beach, there is a creek area with shallow waters which is also great to explore. Like Port Macquarie, whales can be seen here during their migration season between May and November, and dolphins are also known to visit the area.
