8th November - Coffs Harbour
After Byron Bay, we high tailed it down to Coffs Harbour in the Getz. Surprisingly much smaller than the camper, but much more comfortable.
Coffs Harbour was another sleepy town with more awesome beaches. The YHA we stayed at was pretty good as well. Quite relaxing. For the first time in however long we got our own bathroom, a phenomenal achievement if ever there was one, just to have a shower and then not have to try and step into my clothes without getting them wet on the floor, teetering on the side of dangerous as I have to balance on one toe to squeeze the other wet foot into the hole. It's amazing damage hasn't happened.
Coffs Harbour is famous for one main thing - the Big Banana

Other than that we got to see a lot more rain. But that didn't stop us from going surfing again. We had another lesson with none other than the legendary Lee Winkler, son of Henry Winkler, nah just joking. But Lee is legendary though as he was a pro surfer for 12 years and got to the top ten in the world in his prime, now he has a house by the beach and runs a surf school. Yet another evil person with a dream job in Australia. Damn them!
Surfing went ok. We were a bit worried by the weather report that said rain and dangerous swells, but we went anyway. Got a bit more worried when there was no one else in the water as well. Worried we should have been because it was a tough time. There were some big ass waves and the rips were so strong they just moved you down a couple of metres the wrong way. But both of us caught some waves yet again, I'm not sure we hung ten or anything but we CAN surf, fact.
After surfing we headed off to Port Mcquarie.
