The Wonga walk delivers all the delights of the subtropical rainforest and is one of the most popular walks not only in Dorrigo National Park, but also in Australia.

Tall, lush World Heritage listed rainforest provides a cool and shaded walking track and many waterfalls. The 600-year-old trees, elevated boardwalk, colourful fungi, vines, and interesting bird calls are just some of the sights and sounds waiting for you on this walk. You'll also pass the cascading beauty of Tristania Falls, and kids will love the suspension bridge at Crystal Shower Falls where you have the option to get down into a cavern and look through the veil of falling water.  

There are some steeper sections along the walk, a few steps and some boulder crossings, but you can break the walk up into shorter sections.

Start your walk at Dorrigo Rainforest Centre, and take Lyrebird link track for 400m before joining Wonga walk. Check your Dorrigo National Park map to see all the walk options.
