Starting from Dorrigo Rainforest Centre parking area this return walk leads through World Heritage listed rainforest. Take the side trip to Skywalk Lookout for views over the area. You can extend your walk and do a part of Wonga Walk. Let us begin by acknowledging the Gumbaynggirr people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
