Coffs

Need some medicinde for my coff!

This is a top pick! ... I get back to Byron i'm gonna be on my own, no room to go to coz I've checked out, plus a 3 hour bus trip to Coffs Harbour!!!! Occasionally for a few seconds I got a chilled happy feeling but generally it was all intense paranoia. Had no clue what to do ...
At last - some bad weather!

This is a top pick! ... everywhere that tickled our fancy....as we drove the beautiful coast line we randomly decided that our next port of call would be Coffs Harbour. We decided on this simply by eye balling the map and the distance we needed to go. ...
Just a short one to finish the sordid coffs ...
This is a top pick! ... we chatted to a young lad who had spent one night at the hostel and checked out to go back to Byron Bay as he thought Coffs Harbour was dead. I don't think Coffs Harbour is bad at all, we just had some bad times there which was a shame. The final straw ...
Længe siden..
... , så det er billigt. Der gik ikke mange minutter før vi alle 4 var i poolen, hvor vi spillede med den nyindkøbte bold. Coffs Habour er en rimelig stor by med 61.000 indbyggere, vi havde på vejen kørt forbi et stor shopping center, og her blev der ...
Going Bananas in Coffs
