Southern Cross Horse Treks - Country and Coast Horse Rides
Horse Riding Holidays Port Macquarie Hinterland Region - Mid North Coast NSW Australia
7 day / 6 night Australian Horse Riding Holiday Adventure Treks NSW:
Over five horse riding days we ride across the beautiful and diverse landscape of Australia's NSW Mid North Coast. We select routes that give a good variety of scenery and landscape. There will be many opportunities
to see wildlife in their natural habitat both during rides and on the horse farm.
We follow quiet little horse trails, 4WD Tracks, Fire Trails and Forestry Roads throughout the
State Forest including Eucalypt forests, pockets of rainforests,
waterfalls, creek crossings, historic timber railway line, special rocks and trees, -
climb up and descend along steep ridges and pass through
rolling farmlands.
We visit a local winery, cafes and a Macadamia Farm to taste the unique
products from this region and ride along the Pacific Ocean for kilometres
of long deserted beaches.
We climb up to the picturesque Comboyne Plateau, an elevated farming region
of green rolling hills, to take in the breathtaking views to the Pacific
Ocean.
