|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0km | 0km | Newcastle | Catch ferry to Stockton (extra cost for bikes) | NNE | 2° | 8m |
| 5.77km | 5.77km | Follow Nelson Bay Rd to NB... ride in the shoulders (just watch out for big trucks; potholes; roadkill!) | NNW | 354° | 9m | |
| 39.7km | 33.93km | Anna Bay | ENE | 66° | 9m | |
| 45.46km | 5.76km | Turn left for Salamander Bay | E | 73° | 39m | |
| 49.57km | 4.11km | Nelson Bay | Catch ferry to Tea Gardens | NNE | 12° | 25m |
| 55.03km | 5.47km | Tea Gardens | Lazy Dayz Cafe on Marine Drive; Visitor's Centre on Myall St | SE | 129° | 4m |
| 79.53km | 24.49km | Mungo Brush | NE | 27° | 9m | |
| 80.65km | 1.13km | Treacherous fire trail ahead! Closed to cars, but walkers (and thus cyclists) can attempt it (at own peril). Suspension helps. | ENE | 56° | 13m | |
| 100.53km | 19.88km | Left takes you to Bungwahl (beer at the servo). Right to Seal Rocks, little known wonder of the world. Road to Seal Rocks has its ups and downs - watch out for cars - dusty, visibility not great, road can be narrow. Last slope culminates in (literally) breathtaking oceanviews. | ESE | 108° | 51m | |
| 106.24km | 5.71km | Seal Rocks | Only shop (with chocolate, limited groceries etc) at beach No. 1. Camp in enchanted forest clearing close to No. 2 beach (near Treachery campsite - also home of the Phone Reception Tree). ...and back to Bungwahl! | NW | 303° | 31m |
| 116.79km | 10.55km | Bungwahl | ENE | 52° | 37m | |
| 124.44km | 7.65km | Smiths Lake | NNE | 22° | 77m | |
| 128.88km | 4.44km | Pacific Palms | Palm trees! Bizarre. Mmm, many stupendous beaches around to be breathed in. Sport&Rec club makes a mean plate of wedges. | NE | 33° | 12m |
| 134.56km | 5.68km | Booti Booti | Beauty beauty! Ride the Lakes Way to Forster - cars and massive trucks speed up and down - shoulder can be narrow and unsafe for cycling. Patience required. | NNE | 18° | 13m |
| 151.26km | 16.69km | Forster | Jump off the wharf (on your left, by the park/BBQ) and swim to adventure island - for shrubbery, desert flowers, soldier crabs, oysters, dinosaurs perhaps. | SW | 225° | 5m |
| 152.76km | 1.5km | Tuncurry | NNE | 3° | 5m | |
| 165.01km | 12.25km | Hallidays Point | You made it! Turn right into Blackhead Rd - takes you to the beach, where you live happily ever after with the mermaids and mermen. | E | 80° | 10m |
| 171.24km | 6.23km | Black Head = bakery = caramel tarts!! (note: Coles etc should be open soon in the Village) | SE | 123° | 13m | |
