The reason behind the early start was because we wanted to detour on route to Coffs Harbour and take the Waterfall Way to Dorrigo. Once off highway 1 and heading west the landscape changed, the stretching farmlands went all the way to the foot of the mountains.
First stop was a town called Bellingen; an 1840s timber town with all of it's old high street buildings still intact.
As we set off out of Belligen the road started twisting and turning higher and higher into the mountains. We stopped for a quick look at Newell Falls and drove past Sherrard Falls on route to Griffiths lookout where we had a brew and biccies.
As we had reached our last stop before pulling a U-ey and heading back for the coast we made one last stop at the Rainforest Centre, where Ben treated himself to a half price talking Steve Urwin action figure.
A short drive later and we were back on the coast at a town called Sawtell where we stopped for lunch.
After packing up we made the short drive to Coffs Harbour, and after stocking up on groceries we checked in at Park Beach Holiday Park.
We pulled up onto our pitch; went for a swim, played with some friendly lorikeets, had a beer and ate dinner.
