We had a day off today.
First stop was the Bellingen markets. Fairly standard market fair lots of stalls but with not too much for me to get excited about. Susan bought herself a top. After a stroll around we drove out towards Kalang to examine a property that Susan was interested in looking at but which was sold last week. After winding 20 km along the valley we arrived. We were underwhelmed by the house which was in rough condition compared to the photos on Domain.com. A salutory reminder of life's realities.

With out hunger satisfied we drove north a few kilometres to Dangar Falls. After a look from the view platform it was back to Dorrigo and a retrace of our steps to Dorrigo National Park.

We entered the Dorrigo Rainforest Centre. After a gold coin donation we strolled out on the sky walk which leaves the top of the ridge and ventures about 50 metres through the treetops over the escarpment. The view is quite stunning. They also have a swivelling mount that you can put your camera on to take self portraits.
We headed on the 6.6km circuit walk that heads along and then down the escarpment through the sub tropical rain forest to two waterfalls and then loops back up to the visitor centre. A pleasant walk with many interesting sights. Returning to the top we had a last look on the sky walk before winding back down the hill to home and a delicious risotto tea.
A good day on the planet.
