Ulidarra National Park

We entered the park from the road heading down from Searly Lookout. We thought we'd go to the 'picnic area' to make a coffee.The track immediately started to climb and was very picturesque however there was no 'view'We came across a y-junction with a locked gate on the lhs.We continued on taking the end track thinking that once we arrived to the picnic area we'd definitely turn around after our coffee and head out. There was no picnic ground. (We were told later that there may have been a picnic table near the road)The track got worse, very gutted, lots of overhangs, and required a skilled 4wd'er to traverse.We are experienced and advise you not to drive this track. It takes you into Cara State Forest and then you have to get out!Only bushwalkers or bikeriders should attempt it unless track work it completed. If it were to get any wetter you'd have even greater problems.After 1.5-2 hours we made our way back to bitumen by using our detailed mapping on our tablet using Explore oz maps.

Great drive, good for soft roader. Driving in this park is much easier than Finlays and Rover trail.

Yes another 5 stars rating! This place made my trip to Kauai so memorable as my husband and I zip lined for the very first time. If you want to find a safe place to start and not traumatized by loosen hooks or people fallen off half way, this is the safest place you can bet your life on. They have so many safety awards and certifications you wouldn't believe it! The glide couldn't be any smoother and the view was amazing! The hike to the waterfall and kayaking was relaxing and energizing as well. Our guide( sorry I couldn't remember his name but please see his selfie picture with my phone) and another beautiful guide were fun and we learned so much from them.

This another great, clean and well-preserved national park. You can enjoy nature, do some bird-watching and real bush walking. The paths are easy to follow, and there is very decent GPS coverage for mobiles

Enjoyed my visit here and would definitely go back. I completed the Ulidarra Walking Track after starting on the End Peak Trail. There are some sections that are a bit steep and the trails are quite rough and are not marked at all. There were a lot of large fallen tree trunks that had to be scrambled under. There was no beautiful view from a peak at the end, but overall it was a very tranquil and enjoyable day hike.

The old growth is amazing

Sign at the start of the road that says no access by public turn around. FYI. Save you driving up.

I googled top 10 things to do in Coffs Harbour... How this place made it up there is mind blowing!!! An absolute horror experience!! You drive throught this park, all you see is... Not even sure because you concentrate to stay on the road. No where are they telling you that you are throught the Park and going on the road to hell (as one sign correctly identified). More important nobody is telling you that the road ahead (Shelter rd) is ending. We drove for more than an hour on a horrific road just to be forced to turn around because of the road closure... all the way back on the same road to hell... There are countless scratches on my SUV... That all to see nothing. Please put a sign on that says (1) you reached the end of the park. (2) Make a turn around place there and (3) advise the visitors that the road is horrendous and ends... And for making the top 10 things to do... What a joke... Rather do ironing... It will save you 2 hours of buffing out the scratches on your car.

I haven't been here because I couldn't find the way. If you followed Google map to Sheppards Lane like I did, you'll find that the end of it is private property and you can't trespass. Seriously, the owner will stop you. Google map please correct your direction.

Great 4x4 adventures to be had.
