The Festival is on Gumbayngirr land and we thank the Elders for allowing us to dance and enjoy ourselves on their land.
The only place in Australia where the Great Dividing Range reaches the ocean, Coffs Harbour is situated on the NSW Mid-North Coast. Its playground is the warm Pacific Ocean and its back garden Bellingen and the World Heritage Listed Dorrigo Rainforest. Warm days and humid nights make it a perfect place to visit and have a dance.
Bring your Surfboard and your mates and make a weekend of it.
Plenty of accommodation is available in Coffs Harbour. Look here for options on where to stay
