Hubby & I are on a road trip to Waterfall Way & stopping for a cache or 2 along the way. After an overnight stay at Evans Head it was onto Dorrigo & the beautiful Wonga Walk which I loved especially the walk behind the Crystal Falls. On our way back to the coast we stopped at Newell Falls to find this one, a nice quick find. TFTC groovydoo

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi. Staying a bit north of here and decided that today we would visit the waterfall way. So, after a bit of a drive we reached the first of our waterfall visits. Parked nearby and took the obligitory waterfall photos and then wandered over to GZ. Took a bit of a search, feeling around before the cache was found. Log signed and then replaced as found.Now to continue on with our waterfall journey.Gratias pro cache groovydoo

We'd come down this road with the caravan on, this time we are going up without the van. Easier to stop and admire the views even though I'm now on the wrong side. Thanks indeed

We were up early as the birds this morning, so having an early start north. Saw the waterfall on the way up, now on the way down stopped for the cache and a quick photo. Thanks and kind regards from Switzerland, Hinni&Simo

On the way up we hardly noticed this waterfall as it was running at a bare trickle.So on the way back down the mountain, we pulled over to walk back and have a gander at the cascade.Amusingly, couldn't get anywhere close.Wow. Why build a rest area beside a waterfall without a view of the waterfall and no access to said waterfall.The cache we found mere metres from our geovehicle. Thank you groovydoo for bringing everyone's attention to this forgotten waterfall with a geocache!

There are some great falls along this drive, great to stop near this one, as we make our way to Coffs, making sure we left enough space for the truck we knew was coming. By the time it came, it had accrued another four cars behind it. Not a road I’d like to be driving a truck on, down or up! Thanks for the smiley.

Enjoying a lovely road trip staying in several small towns as we go and Dorrigo is such a pretty place in particular to visit.

This was a nice pullover with a quick find and then checked out the quaint waterfall that was flowing very well today.
Thanks groovydoo for the good cache placement.

We've been holidaying down in Coffs Harbour for the week. When we've been able to get to geomonsters out of the pool at the resort, we've been out and about exploring this beautiful part of the world.

Today we decided to head inland and visit a couple of waterfalls. The plan was to go via the Eastern Dorrigo Way to Danger Falls then through Dorrigo to the Crystal Shower Falls, Sherrard Falls and Newell Falls then back to Coffs Harbour.

We've had a very enjoyable time up in the Dorrigo National Park. Some stunning scenery, waterfalls and breathtaking views. A must do for anyone visiting this beautiful part of the world.

This was a nice quick park n grab on our way back down (thankfully on tarmac).

This was number 39 for our trip.

Thanks!!
