"Easily the most well-known of Australia’s unusual series of “big” inanimate landmarks (avocado, guitar, prawn, et al), the Big Banana has become synonymous with everything “Coffs Harbour” since its construction back in 1964. The combination of the sheer size and conspicuousness of the landmark, as well as its location right on the highway, has led to many an impulsive roadside travel-selfie for the unaware international traveller – and is something that has become a rite of passage for Aussies making the east-coast-capitals road trip as well. Originally built in order to draw roadside traffic to a local banana stall, the Big Banana complex has since expanded significantly to include a surrounding plantation, shop, cafe, and even a hybrid amusement/water park in the modern day."
"The Big Banana Fun Park is the BIGGEST and BEST Fun Park on the Northern NSW coast. It's a full day of family fun for the entire family set amongst the bananas, overlooking the amazing Coffs Harbour coastline. Now boasting 6 fantastic attractions including a 600m Toboggan Track, state of the art Laser Tag arena, a brand new Water Park including 4 heart stopping thrill slides and kids aqua play area, a magnificently sculpted 36 hole Mini Golf course, a Theatre and Plantation tour, an Ice Skating rink, Gift shop, Café, Candy Kitchen and Nursery."
"The Big Banana Fun Park is the biggest water park in Sydney and the Gold Coast and it is a must-visit for anyone traveling to Coffs Harbour. Be sure not to miss out on riding their world-class and thrilling slides that can stand as tall as four stories!. The water park offers something for everyone in the family to enjoy, from their wide range of attractions like the six-lane giant slide, state-of-the-art laser tag arena, and the kids aqua-play area."
"Do yourself a favour and take the 6km drive off the Pacific Highway (north of Coffs Harbour) through the banana plantations and into the lush green Orara East State Forest. Sealy Lookout is 310m above Coffs Harbour and the view is spectacular, giving you great perspective of the area, including the Solitary Islands Marine Park; on a clear day you can see 100km to the south. The Sky Pier itself is an impressive structure, it projects 21.6m from the original lookout."
"The Coffs Coast is the only region in New South Wales where the mountains of the Great Dividing Range meet the Pacific Ocean. This makes for some unforgettable scenery, as you’ll discover at the Sealy Lookout, a short drive up from Coffs Harbour through banana plantations. Here in the Orara East State Forest the Sky Pier is set atop an escarpment, 310 metres above the coast and projecting more than 20 metres over the edge of the lookout."
"Drive to Sealy Lookout for incredible views over the city and then grab a beer and toast to the first night of your Australian road trip! Byron Bay (2 nights)"
"This beautiful garden is the perfect place for a morning or afternoon stroll and to spend some time in nature while in town. A number of walks are on offer including a rainforest walk, mangrove walk and even a paperbark boardwalk. Ask all your questions at the Information Shop before enjoying a snack at the café."
"The North Coast Regional Botanic Garden was opened in 1988 and is without a doubt one of the most spectacular of its kind in the region. The garden covers over 20 hectares and is bounded on three sides by Coffs Creek. The garden was designed to feature a rainforest with rare and endangered native plants."
"Immerse yourself in the subtropical surrounds of the greenhouses, sensory gardens and lush rainforest of these botanic gardens. The 8km Coffs Creek Walk passes by, starting at the pool on Coff St and finishing..."
"As you’d imagine from a stunning seaside town, the beaches in Coffs Harbour do not disappoint. Pack the towels, floaties and hit the white sands of beaches Jetty, Sawtell, Park, Diggers, Moonee or Emerald. The only question is – how long have you got?"
"Centrally situated, Coffs Harbour YHA allows for easy access to Coffs Harbour's main hot spots. It also offers free Wi-Fi, a free shuttle service and an outdoor pool."
"There’s a piece of the Netherlands at Coffs Harbour, in the form of this Dutch-themed attraction opened to accompany a caravan park in 1984. Under the watch of the Hartsuyker family and its patriarch, Tom, The Clog Barn has grown a lot since that time. Clogs are cut and painted in the traditional way, and you can watch a free demonstration to see how it’s done."
"Watch a clog making demonstration or take a walk through a miniature Dutch village. After, taste some Dutch Delights at Big Oma’s Coffee House. The only one if its kind in Australia, this destination is one that has to be seen to be believed."
"No visit to Coffs Harbour is complete if you haven’t been to Muttonbird Island Nature Reserve. Also known as Giidany Miirlarl, this precious seabird rookery at Coffs Harbour’s heart is enveloped by spectacular views from coast to islands. Muttonbird Island is a great spot for watching birds up close; it’s one of the only easily-accessible places in NSW where the migratory Wedge-tailed Shearwater nests."
"While in Coffs Harbour, it is paramount that you pay a visit to Muttonbird Island Nature Reserve. The island is a birdwatchers paradise and a place of cultural significance to the aboriginal people who refer to it as Giidany Miirlarl. From the island, one has magnificent views of the coastline and surrounding islands making it a perfect photographing location."
