Oh where to next ?
Coffs Harbour
Coffs Harbour is a wonderful holiday destination, there is plenty to see and do. It’s famous for its beautiful beaches and the Big Banana monument and amusement park. In the waters off Coffs Harbour Marina is the Solitary Islands Marine Park, home to abundant wildlife, seasonal whales and coral reefs. Just east is the Muttonbird Island Nature Reserve, with its large population of wedge-tailed shearwater birds and learning centre.
Things to see and do...
Forest Sky Pier, Sealy Lookout
Visit the Sealy Look, it is just a short drive off the Pacific Highway from Coffs Harbour.
The Sealy Lookout sits within a flora reserve in Orara East State Forest and it is part of the amazing state Forests of the Coffs Coast.
It is only a 10 minute drive from Coffs Harbour, up through banana plantations to reach the lookout, it has easy vehicles access during daylight hours but not very well lit at night.
Visit the Big Banana.
The Big Banana is an amazing fun park that has something for everyone. if rides are not your thing you can still enjoy a few other things....
- Enjoy some banana pancakes, a banana spilt, coffee or just a choc top ice cream at the cafe

Visit the Botanical Gardens.
These Botanic Gardens are spread across 20 hectares they opened in 1988 and feature a section of natural forest and mangroves; plantings of rare and endangered Australian species, Australian rainforest species, and exotic plants from other sub-tropical regions of the world. Make sure you wear committable shoes as there is five kilometers of paths and boardwalks throughout the gardens.
There is also a cafe and information centre.
There was no charge when I went so hopefully it will stay this way.
