Sawtell & Dorrigo, NSW

It's blowing a gale, it's not so hot, it looks like rain, the markets are off!

What can you do?

Go for a drive is the only option outside of going to the mall, so we went out for the day. First down to Sawtell where from the headland you can see and feel the ocean raging around you. But wait, what's that? No, its not a surfboard rider, even they are hunkered down in their hoodies, its a Kite-surfer. I stuck the camera of multi-frame, focussed the big lens on him and waited. Spoilsport, he just kept zooming back and forth across he boiling waves.

Wandered up Waterfall Way to Dorrigo. Ignoring the stack of toilets at the sewage farm, we had a quick look at Dangar Falls. It must be 100 metres down to the pool, but they still have a sign to tell you that diving or jumping into the pool is forbidden! Here's yer sign...

First stop up the hill is Newell Falls. Somehow they found enough room for a layby so you can stop and rubber-neck. Mind you part of the safety fence is now at the bottom of the zillion metre drop. As you drive up the hill you keep a close watch on the fence that's supposed to stop a two-ton car from going over the edge. No-way! Best to stay on the blacktop!
 
Dorrigo itself appeared to be closed - funny about that - it was closed last time we were there as well...

Around the corner is the Rainforest Centre where they had a cafe with a fire-box in the corner and passable food. After lunch went out onto the skywalk and took some snaps.
