Dorrigo National Park
national park in Australia
Dorrigo National Park is a national park in the Australian state of New South Wales, around 580 km north of Sydney. It is located on the B78 Waterfall Way in the Great Dividing Range between Armidale and Coffs Harbour, and two kilometres east of Dorrigo.[1]
The park was opened in January 1967 and was established October 1967 and covers an area of 119 km². The operator is the New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service. The park is part of Australia's Gondwana Rainforests, one of several protected areas totalling 3,665 km² of world natural heritage listed by UNESCO since 1986.[2][3]
In the park there is the “Skywalk”, a walk-on platform in and above the treetops, from which bird watching is possible.[4]
