By car
Coffs Harbour is a 530 km drive north of Sydney and 350 km south of Brisbane on the Pacific Highway. As always on the Pacific Highway, take care. The road quality varies dramatically, and the only way to deal with holiday traffic is patience. The new licence requirements for teenagers to drive 120 hours at 80km/h before getting their licence, has made every second car on the way from Sydney to Coffs over summer a learner driver with the family car.
