Coffs Harbour

Hands up, we perhaps should have read up a little more on some of the stops we'd picked cos Coffs Harbour was a tad of a let down!

Perhaps it's because it had the word "harbour" in the title which put both of us on the assumption that it would be rather upmarket and nice, it wasn't... Bogan*-ville, Australia! (http://www.bogan.com.au/definition/index.php)

That said it had some rather good surf spots, but a swell had come in and was a little large for my liking so wimped out...another spot not surfed and another week goes by without the new board getting wet :o(

One thing that has surprised both of us is just how green and lush the countryside generally is. In many places along the route it could easily have been the rolling hills and fields of the UK.
