Australia Day 3 (Sun 30 Nov: Port Macquarie to Coffs Harbour)

Weather - Sunny & cool! Great weather!

Our in-room breakfast. Basic, but good enough to fill our stomachs. 4 slices of bread (with jam & butter), cereal with milk & beverages (the coffee was bad haha!)

After breakfast, we checked out and headed to the Koala Hospital, a sanctuary for injured koalas (free entry). Small little place with a few koalas. Really cute! The volunteer said they don't encourage people to carry koalas as they have really sharp nails. Fact of the day: did you know that koalas have 2 thumbs and 3 fingers on each hand? Hehe..

We left Koala Hospital after 30min and headed to a market bazaar along Hastings River Drive where we hung around for another 30min as well.

Then we drove up to Coffs Harbour (about 2.5hrs). We reached Coffs Harbour at about 1pm, checked in and walked out to the nearby town centre for lunch.

Accommodation - Toreador Motel AUD75/night. Room #3 - Ground floor, undercover parking. Cheap right? So cannot complain loh hahah!! It was supposed to come with free wireless but we couldn't connect to the network successfully for very long. So lousy haha!! Rating: 5/10

Room - this was supposed to be the "refurbished" room. Well, it was clean, just small and old furniture

Our lunch - The Beef Bistro. 9 options of lunches at only AUD9.95 each, ranging from beef to chicken and pasta. Included in the price was a drink each as well, either a beer, wine or soft drink. We ordered a beef and chicken - not too bad lah..

Tex-Mex Grilled Chicken

Rump steak (200g)

Thereafter, we walked around the little town centre.. again, most shops were closed already leh... good life eh? Hehe.. We went to supermarket to get fruits again. Passed by a cheesecake shop and so picked up one as well.

We went back for a short nap before we drove out for dinner @ Hog's Breath. We ordered their specialty prime beef (traditional cut), a beef & potato soup and a drink to share. Bill came to AUD46.40. Supper was cheesecake which wasn't very good leh.. ;(

Forgot to take picture before we split the share ;p
Beef & potato soup - yummy chunky beef
