Hi folks, head up North from sunny
Melbourne in a few weeks
the desert is not on this year they who shall be obeyed say its
the beach with sea, not
the beach with dust. Any good day trips in the
Coffs Harbour area?? Any good fishing spots?? Last year it was
Cullyamurra waterhole, great fishing and fair four wheel driving.

About 50k north of Coffs is at
Pebbly Beach National
park where you can
camp on
the beach. To get to one of the camps you need drive down
the beach about 1km then ford a tidal stream.
Nice spot. although I am not real keen on the wagon swiming a salt creak.
Well it was salt when we were there in the drought. If there has been rain the fresh
water would flush it quite
well. The
water was about 1 1/2" deep.

You mean our 4by's don't like salt
water?
What about all the ads showing them running through the surf? It must be OK, because I saw it on the TV......
So thats what I have been doing wrong.
Next thing you will say the holden ad where the
sedan-like thing pulls that huge boat up that steep sandhill is false. And that ad where the Jeeps are leaping over the tracks in the forest - that must be OK to do.....

It is OK to take them swimming as long as they are Demo models or rentals.
We were waiting at that
creek for the guys that were
camping there to come out and this Thrifty rental Jackaroo hit the
creek and had the
water wash up and over the roof.....and no
snorkel.
A mate that was with us who knew the rental guys was saying that they only got it back after a engine rebuild after someone did the same thing a month before.

Hi Red GQ,
I agree with the destination above but I think you'll find that the
camping ground is called
Pebbly Beach and it is located in the Sthn end of
Yuraygir National Park. Access is from the 'Pathetic' Highway, not too many k's after the Corindi Beach/
Red Rock turn-offs. There's also another
camp ground there before you get to
the beach called Station
Creek. It is a few hundred metres to
the beach from there but it is a much nicer spot right beside the
creek with huge shady trees and bird-life, fire wood,
toilets,
bins and it's a nice walk to
the beach. From there you can drive along
the beach and not have to cross the salty
creek to get to your
camp-site.
Day trips are plentiful. Get the State Forestry map for the
Coffs Harbour area. There's the Waterfall Way out through
Bellingen and
Dorrigo which is very scenic and all the waterfalls are worth the visit.You could spend an extra night out that way towards Armidale and back for more scenery. Spent part of our honeymoon at a spot called Hyatt's Flat beside a
creek in the Styx River
State Forest. First attempt at catching
Rainbow Trout and was successful! And at that time of year the fire-flies came out at dusk- magical.
