Crystal Showers Walk

Don't like huge treks or carrying all your earthly possessions on your back for days at a time? Fair enough. If this is you, check out the short and sweet Crystal Showers Walk in the fertile, emerald rainforest of northern NSW. Lush in every sense of the word, this day walk takes you through towering green trees, ancient ferns and past thousands of colourful rainforest birds. Stand behind the waterfall, and then have the choice of making your walk longer or shorter, with Dorrigo having hundreds of gorgeous day hikes on offer. With a paved boardwalk and suspension bridge in the tree canopy, you'll feel like you're a fairy from Fern Gully.
