Novotel Coffs Harbour Resort

... Känguru und Emu haben wir diesmal links liegen lassen!<br><br>Danach ging&#8217;s dann weiter nach Coffs Harbour. Hier warnen Leuchtschilder davor, im Dunkeln zu schnell zu fahren, weil Koalas unterwegs sind! Leider haben wir keine gesehen &#8211; aber das kommt sicher noch! Auf jeden Fall haben wir uns hier ein nettes kleines Motel gesucht und morgen geht&#8217;s dann weiter Richtung Byron Bay.

... the messages left on the rocks on the promende at Nambucca Heads!   We have also traversed the hinterland and visited Bellingen, the scene of all those floods a few weeks back, and also Dorrigo.  The views as we moved up the mountain were spectacular and we took loads of photos of waterfalls and rainforests! Bellingen though is a really lovely little town of just over 2000 people but it has a lovely feel to it.  Steve ...

... der aus Florida kommt, meinte, ich würde auch die großen Wellen schaffen und hat mich weiter mit raus genommen. Ich hab ihm da einfach mal vertraut. Als er sagte: "Paddle!" meinte ich noch: "Clayton, this wave is MASSIVE" (diese Welle ist RIESIG) und er sagte noch mal: "Paddle!!!" - Also habe ich gepaddelt wie doof. Ich entnahm dem Geräusch der Welle schon, dass sie gleich über mir zusammen brechen wird, bevor ich überhaupt aufstehen kann. Genau das ist auch passiert - wie in ...

... The lady in my room who is older feels the need to talk constantly when im in the room, even if i have a book in my hand or seem busy so I can never chill out in there, maybe it was a nervous thing. she is lovely but sometimes you need just quiet!! And im a grumpy mofu from last night drinking so i guess that doesnt help. Tomorrow I leave at 3 for my 9 hour ride to Sydney. Coffs left no special place in my heart, I probably wont come back and I certainly wont miss it.

Coffs Harbour was very nice, we had this lovely lunch by the harbour though I wasn't happy - they forgot my chips with this fab burger and then gave my chips to this family who, in turn, accepted them! Grrrrr Rant over now :) Nice stay, that's it! Oh the Big Banana is not that impressive - it's tiny...

... get back to it by walking along the beach but the part where the river empties into the sea is deeper than it looks. We were not wearing swimming clothes and had a bag with us, otherwise we would have swum across. The current is pretty strong, it feels weird. You can go in to just above your ankles and can feel it pulling you. There are a lot of children (and adults) playing is this part of the water, drifting down the river on boogie boards, or just floating - it looks ...

... now an expert (ha ha) but i thought better of it!! One day i went on a trip to Nimbin, famous for a hippy commune being set up there years ago. A really strange place, with one row of shops with shop names such as "Happy Herbs". As you walk down the street you are asked if you want to buy cookies (nudge nudge wink wink) and in the Nimbin drug museum you are openly asked if you want to buy weed. Had to be seen ...

... dag tour naar Nimbin kwamen we om een uur of 3 aan in Coffs Harbour. En jullie hebben geluk want deze entry gaat erg kort worden aangezien Coffs Harbour de saaiste plek is die we tot nu toe bezocht hebben. Hostel was een oud motel en maar 20% van de kamers waren bezet wat inhoudt dat het niet echt gezellig was. Die middag een kleine romantische wandeling langs het strand ondernomen en geprobeerd het centrum ...
