All About Coffs Harbour, NSW, 2450

Coffs Harbour is a coastal city to the north-east of New South Wales. Situated on the Mid North Coast along the Pacific Highway, Coffs Harbour was first settled by Europeans in the early 1900s, having been originally inhabited by the Gumbaynggirr people; it quickly became an important centre for the production of timer. The opening of the North Coast Railway Line made it much easier to transport timber from Coffs Harbour, leading to further growth of the settlement; this was exacerbated by the growth of the banana industry in the region, an industry that led to Coffs Harbour becoming the site of the Big Banana, one of Australia’s famous Big Things. The city today acts a regional centre for tourism, featuring beaches and jetties and a number of major heritage sites.

Coffs Harbour is an incredibly accessible city, with the Pacific Highway cutting right through its heart and connecting it to Sydney. Coffs Harbour Airport runs regular internal flights to major cities, including Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane; it is also serviced by the New South Wales TrainLink. Featuring a beautiful marina and a number of sports venues and local attractions, Coffs Harbour draws in a reasonable amount of tourism to supplement its other industries. Featuring public amenities ranging from a huge number of national parks to a campus of Southern Cross University, Coffs Harbour is a well-serviced, well-connected, stunningly beautiful place to own property.
