Oxley Wild River Gorges

Description

Explore the Oxley Wild Rivers National Park to the east of Armidale. Armidale is the Northern Tablelands administrative centre, about halfway between Sydney and Brisbane and also home to the University of New England.
Oxley Wild Rivers National Park covers 1,452 km2 of extremely rugged rainforest covered terrain. Get your first glimpse of the spectacular gorges at the town of Hillgrove, and then Wollomombi Falla and Oakey River Dam. These three spots are all on the northern end of valley which are just begging to be explored by you!
Waypoints 4,5 and 6 take you down the eastern border of this area, west across the bottom and back up the western border to WP 6. I suggest you explore the wider valleys heading south and then climb to about 7,000 ft at WP 4 and enjoy the view from above. But, the world is your oyster so just go for it! Of course at anytime you can curtail your exploration and head back to Armidale.
