Prolly worth a look at Cape Solander if the swell is still coming. You’re not far away. Scary big wave close to rocks.

yep i hate going there now and i normally only go well West and the further East i go the more i hate being there BUT Sydney has nothing on Queensland for sh!t drivers and traffic :roll: and what's worse at holiday time the F#*kin rrrs hats from both places come to Coffs for holidays and completely F#*K up our roads with their useless sh!t driving :evil:

AAHHH that feels better getting that off my chest :lol:

surprised that cemetary land hasn't been reclaimed yet and turned into housing, council mustn't be taking bribes just yet :lol:

I wish I had a look at that van. There are a couple of half decent beers there. Throw the rest away.
