A short drive from Coffs Harbour, Ulidarra walking track is ideal if you’re looking for a quick nature escape. Winding through unspoilt forest, you can enjoy a feeling of isolation and tranquillity. And along the way you’ll also find scenic views over Coffs Harbour.

Starting from Sealy lookout in Orara East State Forest, you’ll follow the track into Ulidarra National Park and then reach a fork in the path. If you head right, you’ll tackle Ulidarra walking track anti-clockwise as it circles End Peak, the highest point in the park. If you head left you can walk the same track clockwise, or choose a shorter option, following a side-track as it loops around Peak Base walking track before heading back the way you came.

As you walk, you’ll notice the striking shift in vegetation. Below the walking track the area is covered by sub-tropical rainforest. While above the track, tall eucalypt forest dominates the environment.
