What are some tourist attractions in Coffs Harbour?

Question

I am heading there for a few days, just wondering what there is to do in Coffs harbour that anyone can recommend me.

Answer 1

THE BIG BANANA!

Answer 2

The Big Banana, The Pet Porpoise Pool, Carobana Factory,  there are 4wd (ATV) tours of the surrounding rainforest areas, visit the pub with no beer (made famous by a country singer, slim dusty). You can also visit surrounding towns like:

Woollgoolga a-  few k's north - quite nice/hippy town,

Dorigo - rain forest area

Sawtell - nice seaside town

Answer 3

It's called Carobana. (carob is the chocolate substitute) To add to the above, at the Big Banana there is a toboggan ride, motorised buggy rides around Coffs, an ice skating rink, "sky walk" lookout, Candy Kitchen where you can see lollies being made, puzzle shop as well as the "banana experience" theatre where you learn all about how bananas are cultivated and get a tour of the plantation (and complimentary banana!)

There are also loads of bushwalks in the area, lots of lookouts with ocean views if you have a car, plus miles of unspoilt beaches. The rainforest centre up at Dorrigo is worth a visit, lots of walking there too. There's the steam train up at Glenreagh, with monthly craft/farm markets, and on the way out there, you go through great little villages with wineries and cafes.

Check out the link below for more ideas, it's kind of hard to recommend when you don't say how old you are or what types of stuff you like doing.

Answer 4

Big banana, porpoise pool, rainforests etc. There is also a factory/shop thing that makes that alternative to chocolate, i cant remember what it's called though. In there they show you how it's made and it tastes icky.

Have fun, you could also go to the beach, but it might be a bit cold.

:-)

Edit - - Just remembered, i think the choc alternative is called carrab or something like that.
