‘More spectacular than the Daintree’: $56 million rainforest walking track for NSW | angus_dalton
The NSW government is challenging Queensland as Australia’s premier state for rainforest eco-tourism with the creation of a four-day walk through Gondwana rainforest in Dorrigo National Park on the Northern Tablelands.
“The rainforest at Dorrigo National Park is even more spectacular than the Daintree,” said NSW Environment Minister James Griffin.The government hopes to attract 200,000 visitors to the Mid North Coast with the project, which will be funded with $56.4 million contained in the state budget. The project will include the construction of a new rainforest discovery centre and a hanging boardwalk where the walk will begin.
“This project will drive increased nature-based tourism in NSW, further bolstering the contribution that national parks make to the state economy.”
