Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Werrikimbe National Park
Werrikimbe lies on the rim of the Great Escarpment in the hinterland of the New South Wales mid-north coast, a remote tract of high plateau, eucalypt forest and rainforest pockets, cut by deep gorges and wild rivers. It belongs to the Gondwana Rainforests, the World Heritage group that links patches of ancient forest scattered along the ranges of eastern Australia.

2. Fenwicks Scrub Flora Reserve
Werrikimbe National Park lies on the rim of the Great Escarpment in northern New South Wales, about a hundred kilometres inland from Port Macquarie, and it belongs to the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia, a World Heritage area that preserves remnants of the forests that covered the ancient supercontinent. The landscape is high and wet, a plateau of eucalypt forest, tree ferns, swamp and cliffs where rivers begin their descent to the coast. Fenwicks Scrub is a small patch of this vegetation, a pocket of rainforest in the folds of the hills.

3. Willi Willi NP
The coast of northern New South Wales is famous for beaches, but a few hours inland the land climbs into a different world of ridges, gorges and old rainforest. Willi Willi National Park lies in the hills behind Kempsey and Port Macquarie, in country that belongs to the Dunghutti people, and it protects a patch of that wilder landscape. The region is part of the broad belt of rainforest and wet eucalypt forest that runs up the Great Dividing Range, the remnants of an ancient forest that once covered the supercontinent of Gondwana.
