NELSON bay is in port stephens. Port Stephens is the entire area/district and within it has all the various bays (Shoal, Dutchmans, Nelson, Anna, Fingal etc)Crouch15 said:
I went there with all my friends last year. Good if you're up for making you're own fun.
note: NELSON not nelsonS.

That's really cool! We haven't booked yet...which is really not good I'm starting to think...but my friend who's organising it said quite possibly somewhere around the 7th December...?STaLLiNG STooGe said:

haha! we're exactly like you guys keke. we haven't booked yet. nodoby except 3 of us are sure, which is really annoying. we have a place though. we're going for about 11 days at the end of November. We were going to go around the same time as you but I don't know anymore...TheLadyDisdain said:

I don't think you really have to freak out about the fact you haven't booked yet, port stephens is no where near as busy as byron or the gold coast at schoolies time.

Don't worry! We're really disorganised too and I have no idea what's happening! It sucks that assessments seem to make everything go out the window!STaLLiNG STooGe said:
@Monz: Yeah I guess you're right, which is lucky!

However Monz, it is getting busier as years go on as people are moving away from the stereotypical Gold Coast locations. Last year there were a fair few groups up there over the 3-4 week period.
I received a PM from someone off this thread wanting for information on Port Stephens..... don't go anywhere near Anna Bay/Salamander Bay because it is simply put, not a walking distance from Nelson Bay or Shoal Bay (the more densely populated parts of Port Stephens). For that reason stay in the Dutchies, Nelson, Shoal and Fingal Bay areas. Dutchies Bay is a brilliant location for night time antics. Just stay out of the water as last year there were things that nibbled floating about.
Make sure that you are prepared to travel for any "beach parties" that you attempt to organise with other groups. Fingal is generally a good local as there are plenty of trees around to hide your shenanigans.
To add to that, be prepared for a good time if you know how to make ur own fun and are with a close-knit, fun, outgoing group. Don't ignorantly assume that you can book it a week, or month in advance. Last year, we booked at the end of March, early April and accordingly had a cheap house, that was HUGE! Fit 10 people, had a pool table, had a huge kitchen and brilliant space for us all to fit comfortably. First in, best dressed. BUT You don't want to get into the position of booking something with uncommited people who might pull out later, because THERE WILL BE PROBLEMS.
It's a fairly easy place to get to, a simple drive up the F3 for about 2 hours. If not driving, I think there are buses that leave from Central Station, however, you will be a bit restricted by those. Make sure also that you plan VERY WELL. You must be self sufficient, think of everything, from food to toilet paper. If you are staying at a resort/motel then that's a different story though.
I hope my ranting has helped.

I'm staying in my holiday house in Nelson Bay with about 8-10 other guys... plus theres a group of 3 girls from school staying somewhere as well, so that should be fun. We're hoping to find a few other schoolies groups that have travelled from sydney, so if you know your way around nelson bay and have plans, please let me know =]

I'm going to Nelson Bay from roughly 21st Nov to 2nd December. One of my friends has a holiday house or something there, so a group of about 20 of us (not a definite number yet) are going up there, with a third of us being girls, and two thirds guys.

I'm just going to warn you guys... Take it from someone who lives in Port Stephens, there isn't much going on up here. I don't think we have a single nightclub, so be prepared for a quiet one or to make your own entertainment. General demographic is children under 10 or couples over 65.
