29th November 2010 - Ellenborough Falls – Elands - NSW

Approx 39k North of Wingham and South West of Port Macquarie are the Ellenborough Falls. These falls are the second highest in Australia and are worth the trauma of driving over approximately 10k of shocking dirt road from Wingham. The dirt access road via Comboyne is twice as long and twice as rough and is definitely a NO NO. At the top of the falls is a parking area with septic toilets, tables, shelter shed and bins that is suitable for an overnight stay as long as it is not a week end or during the school holidays. There are steps to the top of the falls, a viewing platform and two longer walks to the bottom of the falls. (500m and 700m). On the weekends and school holidays there is a kiosk that is open for refreshments. The nearby town of Elands consists of one shop (no fuel) so be prepared food / water wise.
