Coffs Harbour is roughly the half way point between Brisbane and Sydney and boasts many beautiful beaches and many unspoiled forests areas nearby.
Coffs Harbour is one of my favorite spots in New South Wales as it draws fewer crowds than other popular spots in the state.
You’d love walking along the breakwater wall and the boardwalk for a relaxing stroll taking in the views.
One of the most popular tourist attractions in Coffs Harbour is the Big Banana attraction which is a banana-shaped building with fun attractions like waterslides and play areas.
The Clog Barn is another interesting place to visit in Coffs Harbour, and one of the coolest places to visit in New South Wales, as you can see clog making demonstrations, as well as a neat scaled reproduction of a Dutch village, which includes working windmills and a railway.

Newcastle is located also along the coast of New South Wales and it's around 2 hours drive north of Sydney.
If you’re looking for a day trip from Sydney to escape the crowds, or a relaxing destination in New South Wales, look no further than Newcastle.
Newcastle is one of my favorite places to visit in New South Wales because of Newcastle’s beautiful seaside front, relaxing atmosphere and friendly locals.
If you’re traveling to New South Wales looking to enjoy plenty of beach walks, Newcastle won’t disappoint, especially as you walk the lovely beaches of Nobbys beach and Newcastle beach.
One interesting place to visit if you’re interested in Newcastle’s maritime past, it is the Newcastle Region Maritime and Military Museum, as it's housed at Fort Scratchley.
King Edward Park is another interesting place to explore in Newcastle because of the amazing ocean views you can get from the cliffs, and Bogey Hole which is a popular swimming spot.
