Coffs Harbour Sights

Sights in Coffs Harbour

  1. A

    North Coast Botanic Gardens

    Clumps of indigenous scrub and rainforest mingle with foreign foliage at the beautiful North Coast Botanic Gardens, which is bordered on three sides by Coffs Creek. Paths criss-cross beneath the lush canopy, kookaburras laugh from up high, and there is a vast grassy lawn just begging for frisbee action. Passing by the entrance is the 6km Coffs Creek Habitat Walk. It starts opposite the council chambers and finishes near the sea.

    Big Banana

    Coffs Harbour boasts a ferrous-concrete Big Banana that’s hailed by many as a national icon. This joint, built in 1964, actually started the craze for ‘Big Things’ in Australia (just so you know who to blame or praise).

    Clog Barn

    Clog Barn is a bizarre miniature Dutch village with windmills, a clog barn with a ridiculously large range of collectable spoons. It makes the Big Banana look sophisticated. Kids will like it, adults will be bamboozled.
