Bernie takes us on a quick tour of his town…Coffs Harbour!

What I love about Coffs Harbour...The quiet regional town life after living in a metropolitan city like Sydney, the weather being sub tropical, sunny most days and not too hot or humid.

Where I wander...There are lots of places to lose oneself - a walk around our beautiful botanic gardens, or a walk along the many beaches to enjoy the sun or a swim, a stroll along the jetty cafe strip for a morning coffee or tea.

My favourite place to get a beer with friends is...The Coffs Hotel, C-Ex club, Park Beach Bowling club, Park beach Surf Club as well as a host of other places that one can meet up at.

If I want to escape from the world for a little while I go to...Little diggers beach for a quiet nude time! The botanical gardens- just wander among the trees or sit by the creek and drift your mind into your memories.

What's the Vibe? Living on the coast has always been a dream, being an ex seaman I have a thing about the ocean, the beaches, the regional small town feeling, friendly people, the mountains around Coffs Harbour - one minute you are on the coast, a short drive and you are in a rain forest.

Places of interest to a visitor. Mutton bird island, as long as you are fit! Great views back over Coffs and out to sea, Sealy's lookout via Bruxner Park Road (need a car to get there) great viewing platform over Coffs Harbour, also for the energetic tree canopy walks and climbs. Sawtell a vibrant small town a short drive from Coffs, shopping center cafe's and a swimming beach. Bellingen , a small town in the foot hills half hour drive from Coffs great small town with lots of history and hippy elements.
