  • Explore the Waterfall Way Scenic Drive
    Explore the Waterfall Way scenic drive Explore the Waterfall Way scenic drive, considered one of New South Wales and indeed Australias most beautiful drives. Running east to west from the Pacific Highway to the New England Highway at Armidale, along the drive there are seven national parks, three of which are listed as World Heritage areas. The drive delivers an opportunity to enjoy scenic countryside, national parks, magnificent waterfalls & natural wonders, dotted with bucolic villages – and the odd Aussie-character. Don’t forget to have a camera at the ready, there are photo opportunities galore along the whole route. Our local correspondent and Scotts Head resident Kathleen Crawley shares her in-depth knowledge of the area and her best tips and recommendations. Explore the Waterfall Way scenic drive Where is the Waterfall Way? You can find the eastern start of the Waterfall Way scenic drive at Raleigh, 15 minutes south of Coffs Harbour with the turnoff to Raleigh signed along the Pacific Highway. The drive from end-to-end can easily be done in a few of hours or over a few days. It purely depends on what you choose to do along the road. If you are pressed for time you could fly into Coffs Harbour, hire a car and fly out of Armidale, or vice-versa. Ideally the drive is done over 3 or 4 days. Further reading: Where to stay in Coffs Harbour When to visit the Waterfall Way Autumn is a particularly beautiful time of year to travel this route, with the colours of the autumnal trees providing a stunning backdrop and this is our preferred time of year to visit.
