Hello all,
Looking for some advice from people on the know about Coff’s Harbour.
Currently living in Melbourne and considering relocating and was wondering what the climbing is like. Thecrag.com seems to have a fair few crags with mixed climbing/bouldering fairly close (Genrea, Sawtell, and then Gara Gorge a bit further afield). What is the place like for climbing generally? And is there an indoor wall there as I can’t seem to find one on google?
Any other advice generally also welcome, the other half wants somewhere chilled with a bit of beach life but it also needs to have some rocks to keep me sane!

There is a Coffs Climbing FB page, the people on that can help you out. Lots of nearby sandstone. Depends how you handle humidity in summer, but you can head up 1000m for granite in summer, or go surfing.

I climbed in Coffs 10 years ago, there was a little gym as part of a bigger fitness centre and a pretty good tightknit climbing community. Some fun routes, a little bit of multipitch - depends on how high your expectations are? IT ain't the Blue Mountains, but a spectacular region generally...

2hrs to Armidale; 3 to Mt Warning to the north or Bulladelah to the south...
And there's bound to be options for new-routing.
