This past weekend was Easter and in Australia we get Good Friday and Easter Monday off as public holidays. (Yay for a 4 day long weekend!) So, Paul and I decided to take advantage of the time off and hit the open road. We drove from Sydney up the coast of NSW to Coffs Harbour- about a 7 hour drive. Coffs Harbour is a coastal resort town known for its banana plantations and is home to the best known Australian, man-made tourist attraction, The Big Banana. It's a total tourist trap and a bit ridiculous, but their banana smoothies are delish!
Probably the most fun we had on our trip was checking out the small country towns of Bellingen and Dorrigo. They have that charming, "main street" village feel. The streets are lined with general stores, cafes, and, quaint coffee shops. On the outskirt of the town of Dorrigo are the Dorrigo National Park's World Heritage rainforests. We hiked for two hours through the rainforest to some of these amazing waterfalls and outlooks.
Here are some pictures of us checking out the Coffs coast.
