Fulltime Vanlife in Port Stephens, Australia

Starting off in Anna Bay, waking up before the sunrise to wander around the rocks. from there, moving further up the coast, dropping in to fisherman's Bay and Boat Harbour. Followed a walking track out the back of Boat Harbour to a slot canyon and then on to Morna Point. Spotted a few whales off the coast.

Lunch was in a carpark overlooking Little Beach before getting ready to make the hike out to Fingal Island. Access to the island is at low tide only via a spit, but did I make it or fail?

Later was a stop at Zenith Beach to watch the waves for a while before settling in for the night in a sports ground.

Next day was a visit to Fly Point and a walk around the Nelson Bay Native Gardens. The afternoon was time for a bike ride around Shoal Bay, Mt Tomaree, along the Shoal Bay East Trail to Fingal Bay.

The evenings activities included grocery shopping and a visit to Gan Gan Lookout just after sunset.

Keep an ear open for some of my vanlifer tips, recommendations and general experiences throughout the video.
