Welcome to the Coffs Harbour information website |

Coffs Harbour is a city on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, Australia. It is the centre of the City of Coffs Harbour local government area. It is a popular holiday spot for tourists because it is far enough north to be semi-tropical, but similarly close to Sydney (540km south of Coffs) and Brisbane (440km north of Coffs) along the Pacific Highway. The surrounding region is dominated by coastal resorts and apartments with hinterland hills and mountains covered by forests, banana plantations, and other farms. It is the only place in Australia where the Great Dividing Range meets the Pacific Ocean. |

Coffs Harbour is the hub for a thriving banana industry. One of the biggest attractions is the Big Banana, the first of Australia's Big Things (it celebrated its 40th Birthday in 2005), with the World's Largest Banana celebrating the region's best known export. There is also a popular underwater diving spot on a small natural reef. The Coffs Harbour Jetty is an historically important timber wharf where coastal shipping once moved the timber from the hinterland. The Jetty area is the subject of current planning by Council and consultants to develop a cultural precinct and rejuvenated residential area. The well-known film actor Russell Crowe lives inland from Coffs Harbour at his 320 hectare property in Nana Glen. |
