Coffs Harbour, often locally nicknamed Coffs, is a coastal city located on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, Australia. It lies about 540 km north of Sydney and 390 km south of Brisbane. The city is known for its beautiful beaches, marine parks, wildlife attractions, and the iconic Big Banana — one of Australia's famous "Big Things" celebrating the region's banana industry. It is a major regional center with a rich history tied to timber, agriculture, and tourism. The area is culturally significant to the Gumbaynggirr people, the traditional owners of the land.

The city's economy has evolved from timber and agriculture to a growing tourism industry, supported by numerous national parks and outdoor activities. The Coffs Harbour Jetty and the Solitary Islands Marine Park are notable attractions. The city is accessible by road, regular bus services, and flights to major Australian cities via Coffs Harbour Airport.
