Dorrigo National Park

Introducing Dorrigo National Park

The most accessible of Australia’s World Heri­tage rainforests, this national park is simply stunning, encompassing around 120 bird species and numerous walking tracks. The turn-off to the park is just south of Dorrigo. The Rainforest Centre (02-6657 2309; Dome Rd; 9am-5pm), at the park entrance, has information about the park’s various ecosystems and can advise which walk to conquer given the weather and time of year. The Skywalk, an elevated walkway in front of the rainforest centre, sits above the rainforest canopy and provides jaw-dropping views. It’s well worth making the drive down to the Never Never rest area in the heart of the national park, from where you can walk to waterfalls or begin longer walks.
