Evening lovelies,
We awoke this morning to a Growers Market being held right in the Show Grounds. How blessed. We went and did a little fresh food gathering then set of on our next adventure. One of the things that we saw was these really interesting mushrooms.
Today we ventured to the town of Dorrigo. Just a short ½ hour drive from Bellingen.
Robbie had said that we should not go as it was likely to be
winding roads with likelihood of cliff edges, but the lady at the tourist
bureau said it was a pleasant drive and there were no cliff edges, so I said let’s
go for it. I have 2 words about the lady
at the information centre. “She Lied”!!!!
I am very thankful that the road was wider than the last one
we travelled on, however the drop-offs were enormous.
Our first stop was Dangar Falls. A very pretty waterfall, and the height did
not seem too bad. We had taken our
swimmers to have a dip at the bottom, but as it was only 15 degrees we decided
that perhaps was not going to happen, so we just admired it from the top.
From there we headed to Donaldson Park for a spot of morning
tea. A lovely spot that looked back over
the town of Dorrigo.
We then ventured off to the Rainforest Centre. This is such a wonderful place.
There are a number of things to do. At the entrance there are some beautiful mosaic pictures.
We did venture out onto the Skywalk, which
was okay so long as you did not look over the edge.
We then took a walk down the rainforest path. It is an easy walk and has a bitumen path all
the way through it. We managed to see a
couple of different birds, and a nest, but mostly it was just very very tall
trees, vines and ferns.
It was then off to Griffiths Lookout for another view, this
time back down the valley towards the coast. Very pretty.
Further down the road a little we stopped for lunch at
Newell Falls. This waterfall does not
seem very large, but is really quite lovely.
It is one of 2 falls that come down directly on the side of the road.
Then it was back again to the van for a much needed nap.
Another wonderful day seeing this simply beautiful country.
Stay safe lovelies.
Robbie and Lizzy.
