Is there any 4 Wheel Driving in the area?
If you’re an adventurous type and determined to venture off-road alone, Bindarri National Park, which joins the southern border of Orara West State Forest, is the place to explore. Call the Coffs Coast National Parks and Wildlife Office before setting off to find out about road conditions as the park is not accessible when it’s wet.
Bindarri is a treasure trove of natural beauty. If you enter the park from the east you take a single track up a steep, hard 700-metre climb to a plateau where there are views down the coast.
Bangalore waterfall is easy to reach – you drive to the western side of the park and take a short walk through the bush to see the cascading waterfalls. Take your swimmers with you – the water is clear and refreshing on a hot day.
If you want to see more spectacular stepped falls and you’re a keen, fit bushwalker you can follow Bangalore Creek down steep canyons to Urumbilum waterfall – one of the most dramatic falls in the area.
NSW National Parks can be closed at times of bushfire and bushfire danger. It is advisable to check with NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service before you set off. Either phone 1300 361 967 (within NSW) or (02) 9253 4600.
