Asked for take away. Waited for at least 5 minutes. There was only 1 barista, but......still waiting. Must be close to 10 mins now?This had better be good. Strong. Arrived hot but drinkable. A toasty first flavour, and turned the knife on us. Alex tried to make amends by adding milk, this only succeeded in making it colder and somehow stronger in flavour. Alice's undefiled effort was savoured (whilst looking smug), with an expression that said 'well you r...

We start the day by 'stealing' a shower from the service station where we stayed the night. As we paid yesterday $8 for the honour of a hot shower, and seeing as they make no effort to police it, we pretend we're truckers and wander in without paying. Yes, we feel a little bad about this, but did buy coffee and breakfast from them yesterday... And it was rubbish. This is our silent, civil disobedience. Our first port of call is the Forest Sky Pier loo...

Having stayed at this service station for the past 2 nights, we felt we had to try their takeaway coffee. Also because it was 80 cents. You can't feel that cross about poor coffee if it only costs 80 cents. It tastes instant, of course. Not sure what else we could have expected. It's not real milk, unlike our 7-eleven dollar coffee, and is marked down accordingly. 80 cents though. AB

We were drawn here by the slightly nobby leaflet for them in the Clog Barn. Perhaps that should have warned us off...Interestingly (to us, anyway), this coffee originally came across as too creamy/milky. Once we'd come back to it, it now came across as too strong. What happened there? This continued to get more raw further down the cup. So much so, we almost left the last gulp, which is unheard of!Plus points for water being provided immediately and without a...

After a surprisingly good night's sleep next to the trucks, we pay our $4 for a hot shower in the service station (much nicer than it sounds). Foxy orders a big breakfast to share - this is definitely truck driver fodder - two greasy fried eggs, bacon, sausage, some more meat masquerading as steak, and some actually very tasty chips. And toast. Plenty big enough to share! Ready for the road, we head off down the highway towards Coffs Harbour. On the way, we s...
