About North Coast NSW Leisure and Life

​
North Coast NSW Leisure and Life is an independent travel and lifestyle website curated by Deb Carr, an experienced digital publisher and content creator who also runs Sydney Chic, one of Sydney's top lifestyle blogs.
​
This site is your guide to the best of the Mid North Coast and North Coast NSW—from scenic lookouts and hidden beaches to local restaurants, boutique accommodation, fishing spots, and camping adventures. You'll also find travel reviews and stories highlighting the rich culture and natural beauty of this diverse region.

A Return to Purpose
This blog began as a true passion project, combining Deb’s love of storytelling, travel, and showcasing the coastal lifestyle. Like many creatives, her direction shifted during the uncertainty of COVID. After that time, she continued her web design and launched a handmade crystal jewellery business in Tea Gardens on the Mid North Coast NSW that became both a creative outlet and a deeper dive into SEO, e-commerce, and the realities of regional retail.
​
That chapter taught her more than just how to sell online—it gave her first-hand experience of the challenges small businesses face, especially in regional areas and how fast fashion are raking in millions of dollars a day, with slave labor, and wiping out ethical, artisan and eco small regional businesses. It has to stop!
That lived knowledge now informs the next chapter of this website: one that supports, uplifts, and connects with the very businesses, makers, and communities she knows and understands.
