Coffs harbour is now a fairly boring place to watch trains , on account of 
there are no crosses there anymore .
Boambee Beach is the first crossing loop to the south and is only marginally 
less boring as its on the flat and trains come thru at full speed.

here are some times for Boambee Beach.

It really depends a bit on what you want to see, as to where is the best place 
to go.
Landrigans crossing loop which is the first loop nth of Coffs is not a bad 
place as its right at the top of the 1:80 climb up the red range, and youll 
hear them coming for miles , but you wont see many crosses as the loops too 
short.
Boambee Beach on the other hand is a long 1500 M loop, so there are a few 
crosses there.
Happy watching
