These Islands were named by James Cook on his travels aboard the HM Bark Endeavour. The south parts are at Coffs Harbour north of New South Wales. South Solitary Island, 20 min from the harbour is marked with the landmark lighthouse, is the largest. The great sites here are Cleaner Station, Shark Gutters and The Boulders. When you descend, start heading north from the 12m mooring to about 23m you'll see walls at which you take a left to The Boulders. You can't miss them and there's plenty happening in and around them like the giant cuttle fish and 15m long turtles. The vis is usually good and its a the prefect dive for novices to hone their skills.
