Hey brother I just drove down to Old Bar, NSW and had a great time there. It's just North of Forster. The wind blew 20-25 NE consistently everyday from about noon. It has a great lagoon, a caravan park right next to it and some friendly locals and good food. I believe Forster also has excellent kiting spots but didn't make it that far.

Edit: I live in Brisbane also, and the drive down that way takes about 6-8 hours

Lennox, great surf & kite beach, awesome pub & locals. Woopi meant to be OK? Then not much until Old Bar, which is indeed a wicked spot and the locals will corrupt you within a day

nothing between lennox and old bar! your a hard one to please. thats 500km of pristine coast. There would be sh!t loads of good spots in the right conditions. Just cause a beach is uninhabited and not listed on kitebeaches.com, doesn't mean you can't kite it.
