If there’s one thing Dorrigo knows how to do, it’s waterfalls… and this one is bloody beautiful.
Crystal Shower Falls takes you through lush subtropical rainforest before you reach a suspension bridge with the falls dropping right in front of you. But the coolest part? Follow the little side track and you can actually walk into the rocky cavern behind the waterfall and watch the water fall in front of you. 🌿
The walk is officially 3.2km return from the Dorrigo Rainforest Centre, and if you want to make a bigger adventure of it, Crystal Shower Falls forms part of the 6.6km Wonga Walk, which also takes you past Tristania Falls and through some seriously impressive rainforest.
⚠️ CURRENT ACCESS INFO: There is currently a temporary access change due to the Lyrebird Link track closure. Access to the Wonga Walk is via a short but steep and uneven detour, so check NSW National Parks alerts before heading out.
Definitely one to add to the NSW adventure list. 🤌🏼
