Later this morning head to Carobana Confectionery to uncover the variety of carob coated fruits, nuts and sweets. Afterwards visit the Coffs Coast Wildlife Sanctuary, home to many marine animals including Indo-Pacific bottle-nose dolphins, Australian sea lions, and a colony of little blue penguins. Enjoy lunch and a marine show featuring dolphins and seals. This afternoon experience the colour and charm of Holland at the unique and quirky Clog Barn.

This lookout offers magnificent coastal views over the city of Coffs Harbour and up and down the coastline. Our touring then takes us to Taylors Arm, an area of undulating landscape and state forests. The early days saw cedar felling and dairying but today we are stopping in at the Pub with No Beer, an Australian icon immortalised by Slim Dusty in the biggest selling single in 1958.
