COFFS HARBOUR & PORT STEPHENS<br />
AUSTRALIA<br />
east coast rules<br />
In the East Coast race to get down<br />
to Sydney or hotfoot it up to<br />
Queensland for the promise of<br />
eternal sunshine, hasty travellers<br />
often bypass the New South Wales<br />
coast. Err, what are you doing?<br />
Get back! The life may be more<br />
on the beaches than the bars, but<br />
Coffs Harbour and Port Stephens<br />
are packed with adventure. Comb<br />
deserted beaches, surf epic breaks,<br />
board down dunes, spot dolphins,<br />
hike wild headlands and stuff<br />
yourself with seafood. Lecture over.<br />
