Coff's Harbour

After five days, we left the security of our new found home in Sydney and started 'travelling.' 10 hours from Sydney on a Greyhound bus and we arrived in Coff's Harbour.

Where we stayed?

We stayed at Aussitel. They were very accommodating and will come to pick you up from the bus station if you call. (Maybe check this before you arrive - we arrived in the dark and luckily there was a guy on the bus that had already called them but if he wasn't there, I have no idea what we would have done!)

How long did you stay there?

2 nights

What we did?

Whilst we were in Coff's Harbour, it was my birthday so I wanted the day to be a little more special. There were lots of activities offered at the hostel, but we used the bikes provided by Aussitel (for free) and cycled all around the botanical gardens and the town and ended up on the beach. For the first time since we had arrived in Australia, I felt that I was experiencing it. I also expected a crocodile to jump out of the undergrowth. (Okay, so perhaps I've watched Crocodile Dundee one too many times!!)

There is also a viewpoint where you can look over the harbour which is worth an hour.

Where we ate?

On my birthday night, my parents sent some money for my sister and I to have a nice meal. We chose Latitude 30 where I had the nicest seafood dish.

We also ate at Mangrove Jack's, which I believe has since closed down. It's a shame because it had a great view and the nicest potato wedges!
