Great Spot

Some mates and my self rode our chopper Trikes to Tea Gardens on Sunday and had a great Fathers day lunch in the pubs shady garden. It's a great little town, lots of cafe's, boat hire and a ferry that goes between Tea Gardens and Nelson Bay and quite often you see dolphins along the way. It is very relaxing to grab some fish n chips and sit on the park benches by the water and watch the boats go by. Great famiely spot, about 1.5 hrs North of Newcastle taking it easy. Go, Enjoy the peace

No better way to kill a sunday-ferry from Nelson Bay to Tea Gardens. Then a lunch of fish and chips at the pub and maybe suck some sauce till its time to head back.

Very pleasant part of the world and yes i have seen dolphins many times on the ferry trip...
