About an hour away from Coffs, on a twisty narrow sealed road for the last half, there is a small town called Dorrigo that once existed on woodfelling and agriculture. It is fair to suggest that the largest employer these days would be tourism and I, for one, am grateful for that. To see any more of this lovely area despoiled would be a travesty.
There is a National Parks and Wildlife centre where you can get all the information you want on the walks that mostly eminate from the centre.
There is also a treetop walk that I personally think is overrated but you may think differently.
Dorrigo can get cold in winter and it may rain with very little notice as the weather can come in from the nearby ocean, hit the mountain barrier and dump before you know it.
Still, I love the place and it's especially pretty in autumn and winter. Definitely a wonderful day trip out of Coffs.
