Coffs Harbour Trips

Check it out with State Forests, they are actually one gov. department that encourages you to go see, camp, bushwalk whatever. Also happy for you to take your dog along too. Only concern would be narrow roads with log trucks. Lived there many years ago, back of Loanna, Moleton, lots of old gold mines, carpet snakes,ticks & leeches!! Bring back those good old days.

There are a few good tracks in the Wedding Bells Stte Forest, about 5k north of Coffs T/L to Bruxner Park then onto Wedding Bells Forest drive. Best to get a map from Forestry at Coffs.

As for camping there are a couple of spots, you have just got to find them, and only bush camping.

G'day Paul,

Great drive is if you go up Bruxner Park Rd (2nd rd on left noth of Big Banana), go to top of hill and turn right opposite the turnoff to the lookout. All great views from up there over the coast. The track is called the Rover trail, runs around the rim of Kororo Basin and comes out at Gaudrons Rd. Magic views right up the coastline to Woolgoolga. Almost opposite you can turn into Settlers Forest Rd easy run, then follow forestry tracks right up past Woolgoolga and come out at Corindi. Maybe 3hrs easy driving. Nice countryside, bangalow palms etc.

Nice spot for a day visit or for camping is called Station Creek in Yuraygir Nat'l Park. Turn right off highway at the bottom of Dirty Creek Range (about 40 k's nth of Coffs) and into coast. Lot more developed now but when we used to go in there the dolphins would come and play in the surf, water in the bay was crystal clear (oh getting all choked up now).

Georges Gold Mine up near Ulong is worth a visit too.
