Woke to a beautiful day! Grabbed a quick coffee at the shop at Tasman Discovery Park and headed towards Coffs Harbour and the Big BananaThe Big Banana Fun Park | Coffs Harbour Attractions & Activities.

Once there we did the Theatre experience and Plantation Tour. We learned that bananas are actually herbs and they are not trees as their 'trunks' are actually leaves! They also move about 25cm a year as the parent tree dies and the new sucker is the one going up the hill. That was really good. We did get a bite to eat at the cafe however the prices are costly and in our opinion, not good value for money. 

We then headed over to Reptile World Reptile World - a small display but the staff are lovely, and we got to meet

Bluey the blue tongue and Stella the bearded dragon. Also got a good look at the Lace Monitor and then we headed off to Port Macquarie and The Waters Edge Motel Waters Edge | Port Macquarie Accommodation | Waters Edge Port Macquarie offers a relaxing environment on the picturesque waters edge of the Hastings River.. Lovely room, had a meal in the restaurant and enjoyed our last night away from home.
