This short, steep walk from the carpark at the park entrance to Dorrigo National Park links you to the Wonga walk. It's where you can start your exploration of these World Heritage listed rainforests.

The walkway takes you deep into the world of Gondwana. To wander through these rainforests today is to step into a living remnant of Earth’s ancient past. The lush rainforest contains giant stinging trees, birds nest ferns and lawyer cane palms that use their tiny hooks to climb high into the rainforest canopy in search of sunlight.

To increase your chances of seeing a Wompoo fruit dove or a brightly coloured king parrot, extend your walk 160m to the Balaminda viewing platform. Be sure to walk quietly and look closely.
