Discover the rugged beauty of World Heritage-listed Gibraltar Range National Park near Glen Innes on this must-do walk!
"Located 2 hours inland from Coffs Harbour in Gibraltar Range NP. It’s an easy 2.9km walk one way, the first 2.5km is along a flat dirt road until you get to a fork that links up with the Dandahra Crags circuit track, take a left and it’s a 300m ascend with some rock scrambling to get to the top.
"To return to the carpark either go back the way you came or if you want a change of scenery, take the Dandahra Crags Circuit track which adds an extra 1km to the return trip."
