Spent an interesting day in Coffs Harbour. Coffs is one of the largest regional centres on the north coast of NSW and at times it felt like we were in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, such was the suburban feel around the town. The town centre was very new with a major shopping precinct and cafe’s everywhere.

Unfortunately the uniqueness of the area gets lost but its still the centre of the banana growing areas in the north, as the photo below attests too. The coast area around the region is very impressive, I’m sure without the breakwaters around the harbour, Coffs would have been difficult place to navigate in the early days with the heavy winds that we experienced today.

I can understand why so many people are coming to this region but I’m getting to a stage were there are too many people around. Maybe the spareness of WA and NT has taken over, might be interesting when we get back home.

Off to Bonny Hills tomorrow which is just south of Port Macquarie.
