It is part of the ingrained culture of PC Pitstop to be passionate about the places where we come from, the places we live in and the people we share it with. I grew up on the Mid North Coast of Australia in a beautiful coast-meets-bush area called Camden Haven, part of the Port Macquarie-Hastings region.

Once a penal settlement, fishing village and home to a major part of the timber and logging industry in Australia, Port Macquarie-Hastings is now a thriving tourist centre and a popular sea-changers delight. There’s a huge amount of activities to take part in and a growing number of shops to visit but the best attraction by far is mother nature’s own.

PC Pitstop began in this region. Supported by the locals and visitors alike and thoroughly emersed in both the business and public community here, I was able to grow the world-class company as you know it today.

So to honour our local communities we put them on show. Here’s the stunning view of part of the region from North Brother Mountain on our wall in the Port Macquarie Store:

And here is the same view from 1890!
