Coffs Harbour is called Coffs Harbour because it was named after John Korff, a ship captain who took shelter in the area during a storm in 1847. The original name given to the area was "Korff's Harbour," but it was accidentally changed to "Coff's Harbour" during a survey in 1861. The name eventually evolved to its current form, "Coffs Harbour." The town is located on the north coast of New South Wales, Australia, and is known for its beautiful beaches, lush hinterland, and the famous Big Banana attraction.
