Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie

The journey from Bryon Bay to Sydney direct on the Greyhound bus takes around 13 hours, so we thought it would be wise to make a few stops on the way down to break up the journey a bit.

We spent tow nights at a nice hostel on the outskirts of the small tourist town of Coffs Harbour. The hostel was quite a walk from the town centre and harbour area, but not far from the beach and main shopping precinct. We used the time to catch up on some sleep, washing and bought a few bits at the shops. The town itself was pleasant with a big fishing community and picturesque harbour front. The weather wasn't brilliant on our second day so we relaxed at the hostel and planned our trip to Sydney!

Similarly the weather was awful at Port Macquarie, and we confined to the hostel for the one day we spent there. We didn't even manage to make it to the Koala Hospital across town as most of that was nt under cover!

Still, fingers cross the weather gets better for our trip to Sydney. We have planned just under a week there before we fly over to Auckland to start volunteering!
