This scenic self drive offers spectacular scenery from national parks and lush rainforests to the abundant countryside and wide open plains. This 2 ½ hour drive begins on the east coast at Coffs Harbour and snakes it’s way inland through Bellingen and Dorrigo, ending in Armidale. Along the way there is plenty of cafes, local produce markets and national parks. There are multiple “high spots” which offer great viewing of breathtaking waterfalls.

Bongil Bongil National Park: Just south of Coffs Harbour is a place where rainforest meets the beach. Perfect location for family friendly activities. If you’re feeling adventurous maybe try kayaking or white water rafting. 5.

This ride includes Wollomombi Gorge, home to the highest waterfalls in New South Wales! Based out of Armidale. 6.
