Coffs Harbour is a seaside
city lying between Sydney
and Brisbane. First named in 1847 as
Korff's Harbour. It is shaped
in a triangle. At one
point of the triangle
lie the Railway Station
and the Marina, at another
is the old town centre,
and at the third is the
Park Beach Plaza. Banana plantations line the backdrop to Coffs Harbour.
Offshore, are the
Solitary
Islands. For a good
view go up Sealy Lookout.
At the Jetty, walk along
to Muttonbird Island
Nature Reserve. Between
June and November
watch
whales.
There are many
National
Parks, State Forest and
nature reserves. And
for adventure try sky-diving,
scuba diving, white water
rafting, horse riding,
game fishing, surf rafting
or surf board riding.
The coastal area has many great beaches and some of the
best beaches in Australia. Inland is very rural and very productive agriculture land.
Coffs Harbour has a very pleasant climate all year and normally maintains a least 19 degrees all year.
To the south of Coffs Harbour are the towns of
Nambucca Heads and
Bellingen. To the north are Ballina,Lennox Head, and
Byron Bay all covered in the
