After a full day on the road driving, we evetually arrived in Coffs Harbour. We managed to get a couple of nights at one of the campsite, also JIm and Netty contacted us to see were we where, as they were also heading in the same direction. They managed to check into the same site, so we met up for drinks and some food. They had been there most of the day and scoped the area, What we came to realise was there is only a limited amount of pubs in coffs and that there are two halves, one by the high way and the other by the beach front. So we went for a couple of drinks near the highway first, then headed down to the beach end for food at around 9pm but all the restaurants were closing! 9pm on a Saturday night, the lonely planet guide does mention this, but we manage to find a Thai restuarant that was still serving and enjoyed catching up over a few bottles of BYO wine.

Following by a few beers back at the campsite, on the way to a toliet visit, I noticed something at the bottom of a tree…first of all thinking it was a koala but then realising it was a possem. i approached for a closed look and after saying hello, he crawled towards me to say hi, letting me stroke his nose! I hand him up a cracker and he takes it off me gently and eats it, not bothered as all as I take a few pics of him.

I heard they can be agressive, so the guys thought maybe this one was a friendly tourist possem!
