We ventured inland from the surf of the Mid North Coast to explore Bellingen Shire and part of the Waterfall Way (00:33). We checked out The Promised Lands at Never Never Creek for a much-needed dip. We then returned to the hippy-hang out, Bellingen, which is a must-see for any road trip in New South Wales. There are so many awesome cafes, restaurants and shops to check out. Also, it just has the most unique vibe.
We drove up into the mountains to Dorrigo National Park (1:02). We did the Wonga Walk, a 6.6 km loop through them lush World Heritage Listed Gondwana Rainforest. We were told that it would take us 2 hours, but we finished it in just over an hour, going at a steady pace and stopping to take pictures on the way. The walk takes you to two waterfalls - Tristania and Crystal Shower Falls. At Crystal Shower Falls, you can walk under the cavern and look through the veil of cascading water (1:29). It is pretty spectacular! We would recommend this walk to anyone travelling this part of NSW. Just watch out for snakes on the walk! At Dorrigo Rainforest Centre, don't forget to check out the Sky Walk, an incredible board walk that stretches over the canopy of the rainforest (1:56)
After a few days inland, we were desperate to get back to the ocean. We spent four blissful days on the headland at Sawtell, a gem of a surf town on the NSW coast (2:03).
Finally, we drove through Coffs Harbour and headed to the Coffs Coast, staying in Arrawarra (4:17). As school holidays were over, we had these incredible beaches all to ourselves. Feeling very lucky.
Stay tuned for our next video, where we check out Yamba and the famous Byron Bay!
