Dorrigo -Never Never Picnic Area - Dorrigo

This is one of the most beautiful short drives you will ever experience.

 Go to the Dorrigo National Park and turn left along Dome Road for 10km. Eight km of this road to the Never Never is unsealed but you will drive by soft rolling hills as you are drawn to the far end of the Dorrigo National Park where you will drive through a tunnel of rainforest, first a regrowth coachwood forest - the original trees were logged during the 2nd World War to send to Britain to be made frames for bomber aircraft.

The forest gets denser and you have a sense of going deeper and deeper into the real heart of a rainforest.  At the end of the road there are beautiful secluded picnic grounds including a substantial covered gallery if the weather is inclement. Here you can picnic and barbeque (wood and all facilities by National Parks) and there are three splendid walking tracks for the adventurous and you can walk for 2 to 5 hours depending an how much time you have.
 
There are three beautiful waterfalls on these walks and you can swim just above the Coachwood Falls, which is along the Rosewood Creek Track.  Return to Dorrigo the same way as the Never Never is not a circuit route.
