North of Sydney at last! Gosford to Swansea

We took the scenic Central Coast Highway out of Gosford and, after a couple of very steep hills, had a dream run through The Entrance and Budgewoi to Doyalson, where we joined the Pacific Highway.
Although busy, the Pacific Highway has a good cycle lane, which allows for enjoyable, carefree cycling in spite of the heavy traffic.

We arrived in Swansea around 1.30pm and, for a change, had time to shop for food and explore the town.
Swansea is a small town on the edge of Lake Macquarie and is a popular fishing spot.

We're hoping that the good road conditions continue tomorrow!

Did 65kms today.
