Funny old town is Coffs. We had a late breakfast since we slept in, then by 12 we were in the town centre and while we were expecting just to get a coffee, we ended up having lunch. We still haven't found what one might call the restaurant strip that most places - especially one the size of Coffs Harbour - normally have.
We headed to the Butterfly House just south of Coffs, where we spent quite a bit of time. I'm going to drop in a bunch of photos, but I don't think I need to explain them.
We went to Sawtell, which is sort of on the way back to Coffs Harbour from the butterflies, which seems like a really nice "normal" country town - that is, it has a street of shops that includes a newsagent, coffee shop, bakery etc. There are several lookouts here, this image shows the view looking back inland. As you can see, it's gone pretty hazy. It's been a lovely warm day (especially in the butterfly house), but the wind has picked up considerably.
One of the obligatory tasks when in Coffs is to have your photo taken in front of the Big Banana. So here it is.
Dinner was at the Bowls Club which conveniently is just across the road from the motel. The very helpful young lady from the information centre works here too, on the reception! Ate too much again. We must get going early tomorrow as we need to continue south, and Karen's marked quite a few things in the book that we should see on the way.
