Coffs Harbour and the Waterfall Way

Sunday evening, 21 August – Wednesday afternoon, 24 August 2011

Our way down the Eastcoast to Sydney led us across the nicely situated and contemplative Coffs Harbour – a small town at the Pacific Ocean like many others we had seen.

What was different was first of all the bad weather, grey sky and lots of rain which wasn’t too bad at first since we had some relaxing days but with things on our list we wanted to do we got a bit restless and decided to have a look at the first part of the waterfall way anyway despite heavy rain. We should have waited another day since the next day was quite sunny but then again you never know in advance (the weather forecast is about as accurate as in Germany and had been wrong the days before too) and the weather had been totally unpredictable. Anyway, even though we had seen so many waterfalls before and the weather spoiled a lot the waterfalls were still very impressive and special.

And there are more waterfalls along the waterfall way, we just did the first part. So which is your favourite waterfall? We liked best the Crystal Falls because it was the first waterfall we had seen where you could walk behind the water.

Despite the bad weather we had a great house we could stay in, nice company, entertaining evenings and good food! And Frank might take up a different career as a food fotographer : )
