Dorrigo Skywalk is a 70-metre-long boardwalk perched over the escarpment in Dorrigo National Park. The skywalk lookout, elevated 21 metres above the rainforest, offers magnificent views of the national park, across Bellinger Valley and out to Coffs Harbour. McGraths Hump, with its double peak (also known as 'old man sleeping’), is a prominent feature.
The Dorrigo Rainforest Skywalk is attached to the Dorrigo Rainforest Centre, the place for visitor information about Dorrigo National Park. It features local artwork, an excellent selection of books, gifts and souvenirs and a cafe where you can relax and enjoy the serenity. Many of Dorrigo National Park’s walking tracks begin at the Dorrigo Rainforest Centre.
Skywalk Dorrigo provides a safe and pleasant way to enjoy the panoramic views of the lush Rosewood rainforest blanketing the deep valleys and gorges below. While visiting the area, you might be lucky to spot some of the vibrant birds, including the wompoo fruit doves, satin and regent bowerbirds, grey goshawks, topknot pigeons and superb lyrebird.
Take a closer look at the wildlife on one of the many walking tracks nearby. Rosewood Creek track is a 5.5 km loop that meanders through the stunning World Heritage-listed rainforest, past waterfalls and a crystal-clear river. The Wonga Walk is a 6.6 km loop through the rainforest, while the Lyrebird Link is a shorter track that connects to it.
The valleys and gorges are home to abundant wildlife, including pademelons, possums and brush turkeys. Back at the Dorrigo Rainforest Centre, there are wonderful exhibitions of the local flora and fauna.
