Here is the summer edition of Eat Play Stay - Northern NSW. You can view the full magazine online here.

Welcome to the second edition of Eat, Play, Stay: Northern NSW.

We'll take you on a journey from Coffs Harbour in the north to Port Stephens in the south, and, for the first time, west to Tamworth and the New England region.

From beaches to the countryside, bustling towns to charming hinterland villages, these regions are packed with beautiful places to explore.

With summer holidays just around the corner, we've got plenty of inspiration for things to see and do. Plus some handy tips for grandparents on how to survive (and enjoy) the holidays with their grandchildren.

E-bikes are becoming an increasingly popular and eco-friendly way to explore, so we've included some safety tips to help you ride with confidence.

New England is rich in culture and a haven for art and history lovers. It's also the heartland of Australian produce, where you can go behind the scenes of local farms.

If you're planning to attend the Tamworth Country Music Festival, you'll find plenty of advice on how to make the most of your visit.

And don't forget your camera and binoculars - there's stunning scenery and an abundance of native wildlife waiting to be captured.

Happy reading and safe travels,

From the Eat Play Stay team
