Coffs Harbour is a coastal city on the north coast of New South Wales, 540 km north of Sydney and 385 km north of Newcastle. The city's population is over 70,000 in winter and increases to 150,000 during the summer holiday season.<\/span><\/p>

Aboriginal peoples of the Coffs Harbour region<\/span>Gumbaynggirr<\/span>The people, who have lived on this land for thousands of years, are one of the largest coastal Aboriginal groups in New South Wales.<\/span>Their range extends from the Nambucca River in the south to
River) extends to around the Clarence River in the north and the Great Dividing Ranges in the west. By the early 20th century, the Coffs Harbour area had become an important timber production centre. Before the North Coast Railway Line opened, the only way to transport heavy but low-value bulk items such as timber was by coastal shipping. This meant that sawmills on the North Coast relied on docks on the rivers or beaches to export their timber. Timber trams were built along the Imby coast to connect the timber mining areas, sawmills and wharves at Coffs Harbour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Dolphin Pet Pool - Mysterious Dolphin Oceanarium <\/span><\/b>Dolphin Marine Conservation Park<\/span><\/p>

Formerly known as Pet Porpoise Pool, this is a small marine park, but a very cute and worthwhile park to visit. Once you purchase your ticket, there are plenty of opportunities to interact with the animals.<\/span>\u2014<\/span>No additional charge<\/span>! <\/span>You can pat dolphins, feed penguins, get kisses from dolphins and cuddle with seals. Fortunately, there is a wonderful marine pet show. It doesn't take long to walk through the entire park, but it is very<\/span>Worth a try. If you would like to have your child photographed with the dolphins, you will need to pay a small fee.<\/span> You can also clean the dolphins' teeth.<\/span> A few years ago<\/span>The park also sponsored our location filming for the Miss Chinese Australia pageant.<\/span> http:\/\/www.dolphinmarineconservation.com.au\/<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
