Explore Coffs Harbour
The Vincent Tree
iandsmith Says:
Once you've had a look from the lookout, it pays to head further into the forest by returning to the main road and turning left. This will take you to the Vincent Tree, named after a Minister for Forests in the first half of the 20th century.The tree is an impressive...
Coffs Creek walk
iandsmith Says:
Adjacent to the Botanic Gardens is the Coffs Creek walk. It follows the tidal mangrove-lined creek and has boardwalk over the tricky bits.Here you may learn to understand a little bit just how important these habitats are to the overall picture of life and how, without them,...
Park Beach
iandsmith Says:
Park Beach is the most common beach people head to when visiting because it's just north of the harbour itself and, with accommodation adjacent, is popular with tourists.These pictures were taken at the northern end where there's a carpark and a walk over the headland that...
Sapphire Beach
iandsmith Says:
Sapphire is just one of many beaches north of Coffs that have lovely names but are only good for a beach walk because the surf is not user friendly due to the steep dropoffs. Some of this is due to the offshore Solitary Islands that have a significant effect on the...
Charlesworth Bay
iandsmith Says:
This is a secluded bay not that far from Coffs at all. It can be accessed from Diggers Beach by a walk over the headland or from Kororo Bay where there's a carpark at one end.It's not a place for surf and is generally protected from the swells unless there's a cylcone up...

Harvey Norman: Discrimination at Harvey Norman's Coffs Harbour
Skyelar Says:
My younger brother is a certified electrical genius, who just also happens to have an intellectual disability. Part of his disability is obsessive compulsiveness, and almost all of his energy is channeled towards purchasing various electrical components, especially computer...
Mount Coramba (near Coffs Harbour)
Helpfulness
balhannah 7576 reviews
DO NOT take this road unless you have a 4wd. It is very rough, and once on it, there isn't anywhere to turn around. Worse, when you reach the top of the Mountain, the views are little, not worth the back breaking car ride.

Dragonfly days
iandsmith Says:
I drifted into insect photography; spurred by a lady I met on a hike to Hartz Peak (see my Tasmania pages) which is where I met Raylea. I then was pushed over the edge by coming across colourful dragonflies while I did "the Lap" (around Australia) and I kept coming across...
Korora Bay
iandsmith Says:
Korora Bay is a little way north of Coffs, just past the Big Banana.It's more residential and, if you go down to the end of Korora Bay Road, you'll come to a small parking area with toilets and you can step onto the beach, though it's not a beach you'd want to swim in as the...
Aanuka Resort
iandsmith Says:
Aanuka is a pretty famous name among the resorts of Coffs Harbour, kicked off by the Fittler family who had previously ran another well known establishment in Coffs.Some of the resorts haven't lasted but this one has, set among rainforest not far from a beach. It has all the...
Walking Moonee Headland to Sapphire
iandsmith Says:
Sapphire Beach is on the southern side of Moonee Headland and some locals take the time to go out there, walk to the other end and have some repast at the cafe at Sapphire by the park which is a neat spot if you have kids in tow.The walk is a bit of a slog because the sand...
Walking the headlands
iandsmith Says:
Since I've moved into the area I get to do some walks occasionally. Because I'm at Moonee Beach, that's the main place I walk but I also get to do many others from time to time
So, the pictures you see here are of some of my favourite walks so far.Because I have a diverse...
Painting a picture
iandsmith Says:
There's an artist by the name of Robert Bosler; he's located just behind the Yacht Club on Marina Drive. If you have the time I can but recommend that you stop for a visit if you like art. Some of his stuff is top shelf and it's so good to walk in and see an artist at...
Botanical Gardens
iandsmith Says:
There are more than just "normal" flowers here, you can also get your water borne types it you're there at the right season!This pond is right near the entrance to the park on the right hand side but there's also a creek that borders most of the park as well. "Please bring...
Botanical Gardens - Countries
iandsmith Says:
There are approximately five kilometres of unobtrusive paved or gravel walking tracks and boardwalks that provide easy access to observe the flora and fauna communities.
They take you past plants from all over the world, Asia, the Americas and Africa in particular. Shown...
Botanical Gardens - Birds
iandsmith Says:
You can find the Garden on the corner of Hardacre and Coff Streets, off Harbour Drive in Coffs Harbour, just 1km east of the Central Business District.Because of the variety of vegetation you get a variety of bird life.
The Botanic Garden's diverse habitats attract 150...
Botanical Gardens - Japanese influence
iandsmith Says:
The Botanic Garden covers about 20 hectares of Crown Land surrounded on three sides by Coffs Creek, the banks of which are lined with naturally occurring mangroves. The tidal part of the creek forms part of the Solitary Islands Marine Park. It is one of the major regional...
