Coffs Harbour NSW NSW North Coast

The major coastal resort town of Coffs Harbour is located where the mountains tumble down to the sea. This thriving city maintains a laid back feel.


Over the years Coffs Harbour has seen forays into dairying, goldmining, timber and sugarcane but it was the switch to bananas that saw the area really thrive, and the city is of course famous to many as the home of the ‘Big Banana’.
