Lemon Tree Passage is a leafy, tranquil and attractive suburb located at the end of the Tilligerry Peninsula and surrounded by the waters of Port Stephens. The suburb of Mallabula is adjacent and between them serve as a haven for koalas. The locals take great care to minimise any adverse impact on the koala community.

For those interested in walks expect to see great views over Port Stephens, masses of acacia, flannel flowers, boronia and grass trees, views of Tilligerry Creek across to Fenninghams Island and even an Aboriginal Canoe Tree.
