im looking at moving up to coffs harbour after xmas. just want to know a few things from any1 that lives up around there. What is the car scene like? What is the police presence like? are they bad on defects etc? Also is there much work up around there? (im currently in the earthworks/truck industry) Cheers and hope to meet up for a cruise.

move to sydney. alot better

well mate its not bad of a lil place, but not much work in that industry really, an cops arent to bad but if you get defected theres noway out of it everything must get fixed proply well thats from what i know wen i used to go there sometimes. theres few ppl from this site from coffs maybe they can direct you more.

I've been there once, from my experience, it's a more layed back pensioner/holiday scene.

ok thanks for the info. yeh if any1 from coffs has definate answers that'b b good.

I'm from grafton mate,bout 50 mins from coffs. Its a pretty good spot,cops up here arn't to bad,if ur a ****head n they get to know u they will hound tha Fuck outta ya,but if ur half sensible u shouldn't have many dramas. Theirs sum nice cars gettin round coffs,wkends theirs usually always sumone cruisin about. Do u drive trucks or fix em?

Car scene up that way isn't too bad. The north coast is home to a lot of car clubs and on most weekends there'll be a rod run or small local show. It's a tight knit community and their car scene reflects this. Police presence in town isn't too bad - they've got more pressing issues than defective vehicles up that way like an expanding youth culture with no social outlet! The mid-north coast highway patrol are regarded as being some of the toughest in the state though... Work is as you'd expect to find in a small, country-esque town. There's always transport work though, and with Coffs right on the largest highway on the east coast you shouldn't have trouble earning a crust. It's a beautiful corner of the earth

thanks heaps for the info guys. We have definately settled on coffs and look to move up after xmas. TURBZWAGON - i drive trucks mate, but a have experience in factory work and retail, so should be able to find sum sort of work there. CHRGD6 - Good to hear theres a few car clubs and few cruises happening. i wont be taking the VL up there straight away but good to know when i do itll get some use.

U'll have no probs gettin a job up here,Heaps of road transport/earthmoving jobs up here mate.

Hey im moving to coffs myself in mid febuary and was thinking those exact questions lol, im a qualified mechanic so im hoping it shouldnt be too hard to get work, we already have a place organied to live etc so yeah now just gotta do the move should be intersting but im from adelaide so coffs will probs be more exciting haha, hope fully we can catch up for a cruise up there, from wat i have seen it is a really top spot...

Coffs is a hole. the best part about Coffs Harbour, was leaving it and heading further north to the Gold Coast.
