We moved here to Coffs Harbour two months ago and this is the first heavy rain we have experienced here. Up to this morning we had 106mm and up to 4pm today we have had a further 125mm.

Spent the wet grey day driving around the Tweed Coast and looked at a couple of caravan parks, namely Fingal Head, Pottsville and Kingscliff and it seems that they all charge around $34-$45 per night for a powered site.
