Tips:

Coffs Harbour
Large centre on the North Coast famous as the home of 'The Big Banana'.
Coffs Harbour is a major coastal resort town, also noted for its banana plantations and its fishing. It is beautifully located where the mountains tumble down to the sea, 558 km north-east of Sydney and 3 metres above sea-level.

Although bigger than most NSW coastal towns (its population is now over 65 000), it is typically occupied by retirees seeking the warm north of the state and by holiday-makers eager to enjoy themselves and spend some money.

The appearance of Coffs Harbour has not been enhanced by the emergence of high-rise units which remind one of suburban Sydney rather than a holiday resort. Nonetheless, it has a kind of glorious subtropical laziness attached to it while at the same time wanting to be considered a thriving city.

It is thought that the Gumbaingirr Aborigines lived in the area prior to 1788. It is said that the first Europeans in the area were convict escapees who took refuge on offshore Muttonbird Island in 1791. Timbergetters began to open up the Bellinger Valley from 1841.

Coffs Harbour was named Korff's Harbour' by John Korff, a naval architect and shipbuilder who took shelter in the bay during a gale in 1847. The modification of the name occurred in 1861 when the town site was reserved.

Cedar-getting was the economic mainstay in the early years, although some agriculture developed with the gradual clearing of the land. The dangers entailed in navigating the natural harbour were evident with the sinking of the Carrywell in 1865, leading to a boycott of the harbour by ships' captains until a lighthouse was built in 1878.

The area was opened up for selection from 1863 although there was little settlement until 1880. As the river flats were very fertile, higher prices were asked for blocks which initially slowed development although the land along the flats had all been taken up by the early 1890s.

The first school opened in 1885 and a town was proclaimed and laid out in 1886. It was given the official name of Brelsford but this title did not take. Tentative forays into fruit, dairying, goldmining and sugarcane had been made by that time. Sugar mills developed in the area but frosts, low prices and transportation difficulties had virtually killed the industry by the end of the century.

Transportation also held the timber industry back until 1892 when a jetty was completed. The construction of an access road had provided employment during the 1880s and the conjunction of these infrasructural advances saw the timber industry begin to thrive. A number of mills opened and, at its peak, 4.5 million metres of timber a year were shipped from Coffs Harbour. Inevitably, such plunder led to a shortage of resources and the decline of the industry in the 1920s.

Gold mining took place between 1881 and 1898 but much of the gold was only on the surface and the hardness of the sandstone created additional difficulties. Though some ventures were prosperous, all were short-lived. However, they did draw prospectors, some of whom settled in the area as farmers.

Meanwhile south coast dairy farmers began to settle in the area. A butter factory opened in 1910, although the degradation of pasturage and a switch to bananas saw the industry shrink after World War II.

The railway arrived in 1915, causing a decline in shipping (the harbour had been an important outlet for local produce) but an increase in tourism which had commenced with the development of the first access road in 1884.

Another side effect of the railway's construction (and simultaneous work on the harbour) was the development of the banana industry. The first bananas were introduced into the area from Fiji in 1881, but it was the hungry mouths of 1500 workers and their families which provided a fillip to the industry. The railway link with Sydney was completed in 1923, adding further stimulus to local farming and, when disease wiped out the banana plantations further north in the late 1920s, Coffs Harbour became the country's major centre of production.

Improved access by road, rail and air in subsequent years saw the expansion of the tourism industry. Today Coffs Harbour is one of the major tourist destinations in the state outside of Sydney. Consequently the population rises dramatically in summer.

The harbour became the base of a large fishing fleet in the 1970s which is still very active. Tourism, bananas, fishing, timber and engineering now constitute the mainstays of the local economy.

In recent years, seaside estates have been developed along 30 km of local coastline. The two somewhat separate town areas (that along the highway and that by the jetty) have been fused by recent urban growth.
