The 185km Waterfall Way  is 185km scenic drive links the Coffs Coast with the rainforest, river valleys and waterfalls of the Dorrigo Plateau and New England national parks.

The scenic drive traverses 5 national parks and winds through lush rainforest, waterfalls, open woodlands and farmland as you approach Armidale.

The road winds steeply through the lush rainforest of Dorrigo National Park to a height of 750m at Dorrigo Mountain. Wollomombi Gorge and Falls picnic area, near Armidale, has one of the state’s highest drops and should not be missed.

Other highlights of the drive include Point lookout in New England National Park, the granite tors in Cathedral Rock National Park, and Ebor Falls.

Dorrigo offers visitors the ideal central location to take your time and explore the area.  With a number of accommodation choices there is something for everyone.

Just 2km from the centre of Dorrigo you will find Dangar Falls, a beautiful 30-metre waterfall set amidst scenic agricultural and dairy farmland.

There's a car park, a viewing platform, picnic tables, a kids playground and a walking trail that leads you through a stand of Antarctic Beech trees to the river at the bottom of the waterfall where you can swim.
