Mid North Coast of NSW

"Oh look over there! That's where I made Araluen eat that chilli when I was nine years old!" Mr NQN points out excitedly to me. We've just arrived in Bellingen, a town of just over 2,700 people and of Mr NQN's former homes. It's a picturesque town with a population a curious mix of hippies (aka Mr NQN's family) and farmers. It is said that in the 1970's the hippies moved into town and helped to revitalise the town. Now, decades later, it has evolved to have  some of the best food you can find on the Mid North Coast area.
