Reply With QuoteCoffs Harbour and Newcastle are 2 good stops along the way
Hey lads,
I am road tripping from Queensland down to Wollongong.
Just wondering if any tips on a stop or 2 that I might like to make on the Coast, not in Sydney, for a bit of relief from the trip!
Cheers
Coffs Harbour and Newcastle are 2 good stops along the way
FS place in Ballina. Building was up for sale recently. New owner might be able to cut down the rent in exchange for services rendered.
There is only 3 stops on the way now, the highway bi-passes most towns. Coffs, outskirts of newie (Hexham/Beresfield) and whichever way you go through Sydney (I’d do M7 so basically Picton). Not a lot on offer, better stop in at coffs
Are there any 'known quantities ' in Coffs? There's a lot of shops around up there, does anyone have any recent experience?
I'm heading to Coffs tomorrow and can't find anything, any recommendations for massage joints?
Dont forget the KIAMA blow hole, an extra distance from wollongong, but so worth it with the view
You may need to work on your flexibility for that one lolOriginally Posted by Refedust
