Coffs Harbour has it all - an excellent range of shops (Park Beach Plaza, Palms Centre, Jetty Village Shopping Centre), restaurants (City Centre, Jetty Strip), sporting facilities (BCU International Stadium, York Street Playing Fields) and clubs (Northern Storm Football Club, Coffs United Football Club, Coffs Comets Rugby League Club, Coffs Breakers Rugby Union Club, Coffs Swans AFL Club), accommodation (Pacific Bay, Aanuka), tourist attractions (Big Banana, fantastic beaches - Diggers, Korora, Sapphire, Jetty, Charlesworth Bay etc), beautiful walks through the hinterland... the list goes on. A fantastic place to live for anyone from young families to retirees.

Queenstown provides a very reasonable range of restaurants and cafes considering the size of the town, and the streets are almost never busy, making it a great spot for a young family. House prices are affordable and job availability is reasonably high in the mining industry. The town is in close proximity to Strahan. Excellent accommodation is available at the picturesque Penghana Lodge located in the foothills. New facilities include the hospital and school, and tourist highlights include the ABT Railway, Spion Kopf Lookout and Australia's only gravel-based AFL field.
