Dorrigo NSW

Well, we set off from Armidale on Thursday morning with the idea of spending a night or two at Little Styx River Campground, which is along the Waterfall Way. Waterfall Way is a road running between Armidale and Coffs Harbour on the coast. It is approximately 200 kms long and takes in about a dozen different waterfalls, lookouts, picnic spots and campgrounds. It really is magnificent country. This road is not to be confused with the Armidale to Kempsey Rd. which is NOT suitable for trailers or caravans. (A trip we will do later in the car only.) We headed for the Little Styx River Campground via Point Lookout and when we reached the top of the road in the car park, we realized that you are supposed to leave your van at the bottom of the hill (I don't think so!!!). It was no problem getting up there, and there was plenty of room to turn around (THANK GOD - Lea). We went for a walk up to the lookout, about 400 metres away. The views were fantastic. You could see for miles, right across to the coast.

We then headed back down to Styx river campground.
Talk about disappointed, the place was a mess, rubbish piled up everywhere and the ground was all chopped up and overgrown. I think whoever is supposed to be responsible for it should be shot. It is a beautiful area, but it was disgusting. After that disappointment we headed off to Dorrigo to find a place to camp.
Dorrigo is a quaint little town in the middle of The Waterfall Way, just before the road starts to fall towards the coast. We did some shopping and moved onto a beaut little campground called Dangar Falls Campground. We were the only people there so it was nice and quiet which is the way we like it. It was a case of find a spot and the caretaker would catch up with us later. The view across the valley was great. So we sat outside for a while and had a couple of Reds, despite the fact that it was bloody cold mate! The next morning we took a stroll down to checkout Dangar Falls about 1K out and back from the Campground.
