Banana Coast Caravan Park

Water restrictions lifted and now here's the foam

by unravelau

Serves two purposes really. Makes it look pretty realistic and also cleans the pool.

This can be seen at the junction of High Street, and Orlando Street at the Jetty shopping centre, Coffs Harbour.

Russell Crowe Country

by balhannah

A nice round trip if you have a hire car or are on tour, is to go to Grafton via Karangi, Coramba, Nana Glen & Glenreagh. This is a pretty route, the towns being only small, but the scenery is quite nice. Evidently, Nana Glen has become quite famous, because of Russell Crowe having a farmlet there. There are LOTS & LOTS OF KANGAROO'S to be seen, under the shade of the trees if travelling later in the day. Early morning, and just outside of Grafton, we saw heaps of them beside a persons house, which was on acreage. From Grafton, return to Coffs Harbour via the Pacific Highway.
We had a very nice Bakery lunch from the Glenreagh Bakery.

Iced coffee with the real deal

by unravelau about Now called The Carvery aka(The Leaf and Beef )

The Leaf and Beef is another of the quick food outlets at Park Beach Plaza with an extra bit of pizzazz.....well yes, they do have piece of pizza too.

If you are feeling like a baked meal yet not end up full to overflowing, the Leaf and Beef is the place to go for lunch. You can choose from a large range of ready to go foods and they also offer some nice cakes and biscuits too.

I really enjoy their iced coffee because unlike most fast food places, they use the expresso coffee previously made and chilled. The essence iced coffee is a little too sweet for my taste, so this fits the bill very nicely.

No matter what you would feel like to eat for lunch the PBP Food Court has everything just about. My favourite is their roast lunch either pork, lamb or beef.....just enough for lunch.

The Jetty Foreshores is a wonderful place

by unravelau

Public access to the foreshores is pretty good here. I don't know how long the pathway goes but provides a wonderful and paved walk from somewhere near to the Park Beach Bowling Club to the southern end of the Jetty Beach and finishes (at the moment) at the boat ramp just down from the Fishing Club - gazing at the south island (women's business).

The beer we drunk!

by Jerelis

"Oehaaa!!! Refreshing"

Let’s make no secret of it. We both like a nice cold glass of beer. Being abroad is always a challenge to find a beer we like, which reflects our taste of having a beer. In Australia it was sometimes rather difficult. We found out that there are quite some local beers, only known in that particular area. But anyway, we did like the international known Foster’s Lager.
