Situated along the New South Wales coast, Coffs Harbour is a little paradise on earth between Sydney and Brisbane.
My suggestion
Avoid the middle of the summer when the rain can be abundant, and the middle of the winter when the slightly crisp temperatures can make swimming difficult.

Coffs Harbour, "the Banana City", is a family-friendly seaside city of 60,000 inhabitants. Thanks to its famous theme park, the local economy relies more on tourism than on extensive banana farming.
My suggestion
Go on a tour of the Jetty Strip around the marina and have a coffee or some lunch. Or you can take your children to the theme park. There you will find the Big Banana, the iconic structure of the region and city of Coffs Harbour.
Listed as a UNESCO world heritage site, the wild nature of Tasmania promises beautiful hikes with breathtaking scenery. From Freycinet National Park to Lake Saint Clair-Cradle Mountain, not to mention Liffey Falls, it is a feast for the eyes (if not for the feet).
This part of Australia is unique and distinguishes itself from the other part of Queensland and the rest of the country by its impressive rain forests, deserted beaches, and very diverse animal and plant life. You must have heard people talk about the "wet tropics" which is home 36% of the country's animal species.
A road trip through Australia is the best way to discover this unique country and its unusual landscapes. From Perth to Esperance, let yourself be captivated by the beaches with their turquoise water, wind-sculpted rocks and forests of giant trees, not to mention the opportunity to taste the best wines of Australia in the region of Margaret River.
Take a car and abandon yourself to the feeling of freedom in the heart of the Kangaroo Island wilderness. On the road, you will encounter wallabies, kangaroos, koalas, sea lions or penguins. You will discover the unique rock formations, fabulous national parks and the beaches that are tucked away out of sight.
