Coffs Harbour Operations Building Bunker
A semi-underground Operations building was built at Coffs Harbour in New South Wales in about 1943 to house No. 12 Operational Base Unit RAAF. After about 1980, the bunker was abandoned and was trashed. In 1984 the area where the bunker is located was designated as City Hill and the bunker was under serious threat of demolition.
The Rotary Club of Coffs Harbour recognised the heritage value of the bunker and it was converted into a gallery to house the Coffs Harbour Cartoon Collection, which is the largest contemporary collection of original cartoons in Australia. The Coffs Harbour Rotary Club started an annual cartoon competition in 1989.
The Bunker Cartoon Gallery is located at John Champion Way, Coffs Harbour

Coffs Harbour
Coffs Harbour, in Australia, is a coastal city located on the north coast of New South Wales about 540 km (340 mi) north of Sydney, and 390 km (240 mi) south of Brisbane. Its population was 45,580 in 2011 with the greater region having a population of 70,990 in 2012.[3]
Coffs Harbour won an international Bloom award for population 20,001 - 75,000 in 2002.[4] In addition an Enhancement of the Landscape in 2004 from the same organisation.[5] Coffs Harbour's economy was once based mainly on bananas, now being superseded by blueberries as well as tourism and fishing. The wider region is known as the Bananacoast. [6]
The city has a campus of Southern Cross University, a public[7] and a private hospital, several radio stations, and three major shopping centres. Coffs Harbour is near numerous national parks, including a marine national park. There are regular passenger flights each day to Sydney and Melbourne departing from Coffs Harbour Airport.[8] Coffs Harbour is also accessible by road, by NSW TrainLink trains, and by regular bus services.[9]
Attractions[edit]
Inside The Bunker Cartoon Gallery Coffs Harbour
Coffs Harbour was the hub for a thriving banana industry. One of the biggest attractions is the Big Banana, one of the first of Australia's Big Things (it celebrated its 40th birthday in 2005), with the World's Largest Banana celebrating the region's best known export. There is also a popular underwater diving spot on a small natural reef.[vague]
The Coffs Harbour Jetty is an historically important timber wharf where coastal shipping once moved the timber from the hinterland. The jetty area is the subject of current planning[when?] by Council and consultants to develop a cultural precinct and rejuvenated residential area.
Nearby, the Solitary Islands Marine Park preserves a diverse underwater ecosystem that mirrors the terrestrial biodiversity, covering the southern limit of northern tropical species and the northern limits of the southern temperate species. Muttonbird Island is accessible by walking along the breakwater from the harbour, with the nature reserve protecting a significant wedge-tailed shearwater breeding site. The Muttonbird Island footpath leads to a viewing platform where whales are often spotted between June and November.
There are many national parks, reserves and marine parks surrounding the city, including:
Bellinger River National Park (west of Bellingen in the Bellinger headwaters)
Bindarri National Park (20 km west of the city, near Ulong and Dairyville)
Bongil Bongil National Park (south of Sawtell)
Cascade National Park (north of Dorrigo)
Coffs Coast Regional Park (beachside reserves and parks along the Coffs Coast)
Dorrigo National Park (just south of the Dorrigo township)

WW2 Bunker Coffs Harbour
A WWII Bunker located on the beach at Coffs Harbour. Possibly either a Machine Gun bunker or a RAN Watching Station or similar.
Apologies for the poor audio. It was very windy.
Does anyone know for sure what it was used for?

Someone called H. McClelland, 24 Gipps St, Wollongong has written their name in the wet cement possibly when this small bunker was being erected during WWII.

14th Stanley Awards, Seven News (1998)
Until 1998, the Stanley Awards had mostly been presented at venues in Sydney, with occasional forays to other capitals such as Melbourne (1988), Canberra (1995) and Adelaide (1997).
Then in 1998, thanks to the establishment of the Bunker Cartoon Gallery in Coffs Harbour, a regional centre finally got a turn to host cartooning's night of nights.
Like all news reports, it's very brief but still showcases a bunch of interesting aspects of the night including MC Glenn Robbins, Lindsay Foyle, Tom Hamilton-Foster, enthusiastic scribbler Mark Lynch and guest presenter Nancy Beiman as well as lucky recipients Warren Brown, Geoff Hook and Brett Lethbridge, who took home two statuettes, including the Gold Stanley.
