Weekend Trip to Little Forest Farmstay

We had the best time at Little Forest Farm with our 2 kids and a dog. Beautiful and peaceful spot, it was sad to leave. We definitely will be coming back to the farm.

Weekend Trip to Babbling Brook 4WD Camping

Large cleared area with direct water access. Awesome paddleboarding and fishing. Very level ground so really easy to set up camp comfortably. Fire-pits already built (will try them out next time when there is no total fire ban active) Very peaceful, camp sites are very spread out, can't hear or see your neighbours. Great tree cover. All round fantastic getaway, will definitely be back and try a couple other camp spots on the property!

3 nights at Babbling Brook 4WD Camping

Thanks so much Billy and Michele, our family of 4 and our border collie had the best stay! Everything was organised very well, we arranged for fire wood on arrival. Our camp site number 2 was perfect. We had an amazing spot on the river front, the use of the kayaks which was a bonus. The boys loved it so much plenty of fish in the river We can’t wait to stay next time!!

Weekend Trip to Yadboro Flat

What a beautiful spot! I will say that I found the drive in quite stressful with my little 2WD sedan and I did get lost finding the place, but once I was there all my worries went away. Beautiful spot right next to the river. Saw a Kangaroo and a Wombat and loved just relaxing by the river with a beautiful mountain in the background. There were a few other people booked into other campsites but I barely saw them. Was beautifully secluded.

Weekend Trip to Kookaburra

Fab spot! Beautiful property with lots of trees and space, and some cows and horses roaming around too! We camped at the Cackle. Lots of different spots to pitch a tent, other camps within eyesight but still felt secluded, accessible with our 2WD, and easy to find following Christine's helpful instructions. And as in the name, lots of Kookaburras around and fun listening to them laugh! Great value!

Weekend Trip to Kookaburra

We loved camping at the Bushman’s Clock at Kookaburra. The creek is gorgeous, and farm animals are friendly (not much of a wildlife though - see it as a pro or con hehe). The toilet was clean. It was easy to find. Everything went very well. Loved the fire pit and the fact that you can buy firewood on the farm!

Overview

About

The beach is backed by a lush, green landscape and provides an excellent spot for swimming, fishing, surfing, and other beach activities.

Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or an adventurous getaway, Racecourse Beach is the perfect spot for a memorable holiday.

When to go

The best time to visit Racecourse Beach is during the warmer months, from November to April, when the water and air temperatures are most inviting for beach activities. However, be mindful of the peak holiday seasons, as the beach can get quite busy. Off-season visits might offer a quieter experience but come prepared for cooler conditions and less predictable surf.

Check the local weather and surf conditions before heading out to ensure a safe experience.
There are no Surf Life Saving services provided, so ensure you're confident in your swimming abilities.
Accessibility to the beach is available from the northern car park by the main road.
