The Lagoon where the Bellinger and Kalang Rivers converge to greet the sea provides a striking foreground to the spectacular Dorrigo mountains hovering above the beautiful Bellinger Valley.

The Waterfall Way winds its way from the coastal village of Urunga up through Bellingen, to Dorrigo and on to the New England Tablelands.

The natural beauty of the Bellingen Shire is spectacular and diverse...long, unspoilt beaches, talltimbers and crystal clear rivers.

Unwind in the peaceful lush rural setting of the Bellinger Valley, enjoy the rugged mountain slopes, the rainforests and waterfalls of the Dorrigo Plateau.

The magnificent World Heritage National Parks and State Forests cover over half the Bellingen Shire.

Urunga, a little river estuary town, just like they used to be, basks in the sunshine right where the Kalang and Bellinger Rivers flow into the sea.

This pretty town boasts a long timber boardwalk across sand flats and mangroves to the ocean beach.

Urunga has its own 9 hole golf course and provides ample opportunities for the fishing enthusiast .

The road to Bellingen takes you through prosperous-looking farms in paddocks of sharp green grass that contrast against the graded shades of blue in the background hills.

The town of Bellingen retains an ambience of quiet rural elegance and simplicity. The Old Butter Factory, next to the nine- hole golf course and beside the river, is now an arts and craft complex. It is home to working artisans selling leather, woodwork, pottery, art and glass.

Combine this with some of the best weather in Australia, sub-tropical summers and mild, dry winters and you have the ideal setting for a perfect holiday.
