Questions

• File powder

  Does anyone know where I can buy file powder for making Gumbo here in Australia. I can get it online direct from New Orleans but the postage is crippling and there may be a specialist shop around that sells it? Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Advice

• For: Walking trip - Coffs Hinterland

  It was debated many years ago before they decided on Canberra, to make Dorrigo the capital of Australia. The walking tracks are not too bad anywhere here BUT, we get at times one hell of a lot of rain. Depending on when you do it always factor that in and if the weather is warmer, leech proof yourself. In Dorrigo itself, there is the Sky walk, an in the treetops walk. This also has some nice tracks that would be a good primer. They also do night tours to see the wildlife. Dangar Falls are 5 minutes out of Dorrigo too.

  If you could afford the luxury of a detour, it is about an hour off Pacific Highway, the turnoff is just prior to Coffs, I would suggest Misty’s in Dorrigo. They also do accommodation with just the one facility. The food at the restaurant is to die for plus the experience is very intimate. You can take the ” back ” road then to Grafton, depending on the overall nature / goal of your trip.

  If it must be Coffs, the restaurant at the Bonville Golf Course is great. Accommodation, I don’t know about romantic but the Quality Inn is clean, the Novotel Resort is good plus they have a great nine hole golf course if that is your poison.

  Or plenty of National Parks, a tent, the stars, a prawn on the barbie, a bottle of cab merlot…..
