Dorrigo National Park

This warratah was on a tree in the garden of the B&B at which we stayed last night.









This bird was waiting for a crumb off our cinnamon toast. That's all we bought from the cafe at the Sky Walk because the cafe prices were ridiculous.
However, the Sky Walk was excellent, allowing access over the tree canopy that you would not normally experience. This was free, as was the park entry.

Still waiting for a crumb.



There are lots of trees. I guess that's why its called a forrest.
This small lizard was sunning itself from the hollow end of a fallen tree.
The walk we did was about an hour in each direction, ending at these falls. Normally, you could walk behind the falls, but a portion of the track was eroded away during a recent storm and so this is as close as you could get.
Magnificent views right to the coast were visible from the lookout at the picnic ground near to the information centre
This is the Danger falls (not to be confused with Dangars Falls, near to Armidale). These are very accessible, being just on the edge of town. Plenty of water going over here.
After a busy day's walking, we're off to Juan's cafe where we'll meet him and he'll take us to our accomodation for tonight. Guess what we found on the road....
At the cafe we were given coffee, and then escorted back to the house we'll be staying in tonight. It's about 5 minutes east of Dorrigo. An hour or so later, Juan came with an anti-pasto opener, followed with a serve of Spaghetti Bolognaise. This in turn was followed by an apple pie and ice cream. I've eaten so much (again) I can barely move. The house is a reasonably large, old country house. We're in a bedroom in the main house with it's own facilities. It's cold again tonight, so I'm tucked in bed already, with the electric blanket on. Goodnight!
