Port Macquarie to Coffs Harbour


After a couple of nights in Port Macquarie we started to make our way up to Byron Bay..via Coffs Harbour. It was at this point where our luck with the weather took a serious turn for the worst, and unbeknown to us, would last a good week and a half. Silly amounts of rain started to fall as soon as we arrived and within an afternoon the whole of Coffs was under water. Needless to say, we saw pretty much zero of the place in general apart from a mall, a corner shop and the hostel, which then flooded the afternoon we left..luckily for us. 

We did however take a stroll down to the harbour it's self one afternoon but judging by the size and ferociousness of the waves which were crashing relentlessly over the harbour wall, we figured the likelihood of dying was higher than that of having fun.. therefore we scampered back to the hostel, leaving the insane body boarder to frolick alone in the surf like a demented rubber duck with a death wish. (At this point we are begining to realise just how crazy some Aussies really are)

We only just managed to escape the next day and headed off in search of dry land.
