    Just park yourself at the nearest round-about and munch on the flowers? No, spinach, parsley and bread and butter plants.......LOL. They do make a lovely cover in the garden beds. The first time that I ever noticed this was probably about 7 years ago. On that occasion parsley was the only addition. Overnight, the parsley disappeared leaving all of these weird gaps in the display. Now days the pickers must be discreet because the flower beds look fine even after the spinach disappears.

    Most Coffs Harbour families bar-b-q at home frequently during the summer months. Its a way to get outside without taking out the car, and having a meal with the family that the husband usually cooks. The fresh air really stimulates the appetite and these can become quite a favourite time with the kids.

    Australians on the whole really like the out doors and having picnics and bar-b-q's at the drop of a hat. Because of this you will often find areas to do this i.e. picnic and bar-b.q. This is one such area in Coffs Harbour. The burners (for bar-b-q and free and electric)..........preferable to having us light fires when we have such a dry continent.............

    Coffs Harbour ites and visitors really appreciate the humour and cleverness behind these individual efforts of advertising. This business relocated taking their icon and I only just discovered them again. Please note the flippered feet. Update end June 2006. They've lost their flippers but gained internet access. After my nde I had occasion to rediscover this dive shop. I went looking for a wet suit and spent half an hour on the net feeding my addiction. I did it a few times over a couple of weeks and discovered this spot to be most convenient...i.e. close to my beach and a happy breakfast spot (foreshores cafe)... and I felt very welcome on each occasion. Of course while I am still thinking about the wet suit they are assured of my custom both ways.

    I really don't know what the thinking was behind this so I am just choosing to say that we're indicating that we have fun here. UPDATE They say that the rolling stone gathers no moss--well moving icons don't either....LOL I only noticed the other day that our joker friend has re-appeared outside our live theatre at the Jetty.....most appropriate.

    Can you see the parsley? This garden hasn't been discovered yet I don't think, even the spinach is still intact. A little closer.

    Coffs Harbour was named Korff's Harbour' by John Korff, a naval architect and shipbuilder who took shelter in the bay during a gale in 1847. The modification of the name occurred in 1861 when the town site was reserved. Improved access by road, rail and air in subsequent years saw the expansion of the tourism industry. Today Coffs Harbour is one of the major tourist destinations in the state outside of Sydney. Consequently the population rises dramatically in summer. The harbour became the base of a large fishing fleet in the 1970s which is still very active. Tourism, bananas, fishing, timber and engineering now constitute the mainstays of the local economy.

    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.
