If ever there was a cute place to take your kids, it's the Koala Hospital. It's the world's first hospital dedicated solely to koala care, and staff conduct tours every day, as well as occasional educational programs and lectures. Then, head to Billabong Zoo to get a closer look at a variety of Australian and exotic animals. You can pet, hold and feed a lot of the cute, cuddly, scaly or feathered critters. For a selection of cultural events focused more on 2-legged mammals, check out the Glasshouse for theatre and art exhibits.
The soft sandy beaches of Port Macquarie are the kind that are kind to everyone. Surfers love Lighthouse Beach, but kids do, too. There are great spots to swim and picnic, plus a lighthouse to visit, of course. Grants Beach is another good one for hang-ten-ers, and the Port Macquarie coastal walk features views of the rainforest, and even more beaches. Whale-watching cruises launch from the harbour from May to November, when thousands of whales migrate along the coast. Deep-sea fishing charters are available all year.
The humid subtropical climate in Port Macquarie provides visiting beach bums with warm, humid summers and mild winters. Rain can happen any time, so bring an umbrella just in case.

The water might be too cold for swimming, but it's not too cold for a sunny outdoor stroll. Low temps rarely sink below 7°C.
