Coffs Harbor & Bellingen

IMG_2226

The two days we spent in Coffs Harbor were filled with self-guided walking tours around the harbor, along the beach, and through their beautiful Botanic Gardens. Above is a picture taken of the harbor itself and below shows a wildlife reserve in the distance we could’ve hiked across (but didn’t because of the heat!). And, while none of us can remember the name of the reserve we do remember being told that it’s the largest in the southern hemisphere.

Above are pictures taken from within the Botanic Gardens in Coffs Habor, and below (shifting gears to staying in Bellingen) are pictures of a fruit we had to try after reading it’s label in a grocery store that it is the “queen of all fruits.” And, while none of us again can remember it’s name my best guess is that it’s a relative of the lychee fruit. The insides tasted like a sweet, slime ball.

While in Bellingen we borrowed the hostel’s tubes and floated down the river! It was a nice way to relax and cool off on a hot summer’s day.
