Last year we popped into Coffs Harbour and caught up with a fried for lunch. This time we decided to stay a couple on nights on our way up north. Coffs Harbour is a coastal city located on the Mid North Coast of NSW. Its about 540 km from Sydney and 390 kms south of Brisbane. It has a population of some 70.000. It was once know for its banana production which has now been superceded by blueberries, tourism and fishing.
After a drive throught the town we decide on luch by the water. Latitude 30 looked a good place to eat.
We were seated at a window where we could enjoy the sea. It was raining which was good for the area as some much of Australia is suffering from drought.
The rain did not deter the Ibis.
The Marina is filled with boats, both working boats and others for leisure.
We decided on shared plates. We were not disappointed. One plate had morton bay bugs, salmon, prawns, oysters and pate. The other was a deconstructed trout, beetroot puree with pomegranits and creme fresh. This was paired with a NZ Sauvignon blanz. All delicious.
On the way back to our motel we stopped into the Ex Solder's Club. It is huge. On one side is the dinning roon.
Across from here are banks of poker machines.
They have a great collection of Miltary memorabilia.
These clubs are part of Australian culture which we have never seen in other countries we have vsisted.
Cheers,
Beverley and Ross
