This winding and very scenic stretch of road goes from Urunga on the coast over to Armidale, and is apparently the 3rd most popular tourist drive in Australia. We left Daisy at home in Woopi and borrowed a zippy little Mazda for the drive along the Waterfall Way. The road followed the Bellinger River and meandered through the bustling little arty town of Bellingen and past rolling pastures and happy cows. Then it climbed steeply through world heritage rainforest, past several waterfalls and up to the town of Dorrigo on the edge of a magnificent escarpment. The weather was fine and sunny so we could see across the valley for miles. At the National Parks Centre we walked out amongst the tree tops on the "skywalk" and had an incredible view down toward the sea. We also stopped at the beautiful Dangar Falls on the Bielsdown River and had a walk around the sleepy town of Dorrigo. It was a really great day.
