iandsmith Says: I did the Wonga Walk one time and kept my eyes open for fungi. What surprised me was not that I found a lot but that there were so many just in the one walk and that I would have overlooked some because I just didn't have enough time to be thorough.I share with you some of...
iandsmith Says: The Wonga Walk is immensely popular, and rightly so. It has a paved surface for the majority of its length and the rest is boardwalk.The new look section comes where a suspension bridge, put in with the aid of a helicopter, crosses the stream beside Crystal Shower Falls....
iandsmith Says: This is a lovely cascade that is on the Wonga Walk that also features Crystal Shower Falls.These are called Tristania and, about halfway down the drop you walk across a bridge that makes it easy to photograph these cascades.The start point is Dorrigo Rainforest Centre which...
skatzcatz Says: Dorrigo National Park is a beautiful rainforest park on the north coast of NSW. Famous for it's treetop walk and rainforrest walks it i situated only a short drive from the town of Dorrigo.
skatzcatz Says: A km from Dorrigo is the beautiful Dangarr Falls. A carpark is above with a great viewing platform.
iandsmith Says: Dorrigo is what I would call a surviving rural centre. Due to the lower requirement of labour in the country these days your town has to have something extra to survive and some have found that tourism can provide such a stimulus.Dorrigo has the attractions and has survived...
iandsmith Says: Ebor Falls are a much visited attraction on Waterfall Way. They are easily accessed and have good facilities. You don't have to go on dirt road and the viewing platforms are well situated, a lesson that could be heeded at Gloucester Falls!There's a village here of about 100...
Mikebb Says: The Skywalk is a short distance from the Visitors Centre and is a good way of viewing the forest, taking photos, and reading the information signs about the rain forest for those people who are short of time or unable to walk the forest trails.We walked some of the shorter...
Lunch At The Dorrigo Hotel - Old Style Pub Food
Mikebb Says: Country Hotels (pubs) in Australia provide good food at a reasonable price and you can always have a beer or glass of wine with your meal.The day we had lunch at the Dorrigo Hotel the meals were excellent and very reasonably priced. We were lucky to obtain a table in the...
Mikebb Says: There are many trails to walk or hike, some long others short, there is a trail suitable for everyone.When you get under the forest canopy the first thing you will notice is how much cooler it is, most likely 5 to 8 C cooler. The ground is moist and there is a thick cover of...
Canopy Cafe: Ideal For Lunch Or Afternoon Tea
Mikebb Says: After walking some of the shorter trails we returned to the Visitors Centre and then saw the Canopy Cafe nearby. It was mid afternoon and we decided to have the Devonshire Tea which was a sheer delight.Home made scones,local cream, plunger tea and a beautiful view. What more...
The Dorrigo Bakery: Great pies and pastries
Mama-to-3 Says: The pies are great, lovely variety and the Dangar Delight is one of the stickiest fruitiest creamiest treats I have ever had. Drool-worthy!
Woolpack Rocks, reaching the top
iandsmith Says: continued -"We moved on up the climb though I sidetracked down to a streamlet that gurgled attractively enough to lure me to its cool splashing waters, drooping ferns and decaying branches. It wasn’t a permanent stream but it was nice when it did run.It sits at the bottom of...
iandsmith Says: To visit Woolpack Rocks you travel on the Ebor-Guyra Road before turning off onto the road to Native Dog Creek Rest Area. There are both camping and picnic sites at the rest area, fees apply.The following is from my first trip to the walk:"It had rained; lord it had rained....
iandsmith Says: Dairy farms have always been a part of the scene here due to the high rainfall producing verdant pasture so there'll always be a rural component to the area.The lush green rolling hills are something I always remember about Dorrigo and in these pictures I hope it gives you...
iandsmith Says: There are a few loops roads around Dorrigo and they take you past some picturesque rural scenery to say the least. Rolling fertile hills with cows grazing contentedly make for pleasant viewing at the worst of times and here is no exception.These are some shots I took on a...
iandsmith Says: To get shots like these of Rosewood River you'll definitely be heading off the beaten path. In fact, you may well be treading on places where no man has ever set foot before.You'll suffer from wait-a-while vines, slippery footing and tight situations but, the results, for...
Mikebb Says: Just out of town there is a beautiful waterfall worth seeing. A 5 minute drive from town.
iandsmith Says: At over 700 metres with rolling hills and a consistent rainfall, the words "verdant" and "lush" are but a few that come to mind.With scenery like this it's well worth just jumping in your vehicle, taking care to pack your camera, and go for a drive in the countryside. West...
iandsmith Says: View en route on the 5.5km Rosewood Creek Trail which you can extend by descending to Cedar Falls. For about 2kms you are side by side with this beautiful stream.The crystal clear waters betraying the rocky base as it gurgles and crashes its way seawards through the leafy...
