Scenic Drives

Virtually any road leading out of Bowraville takes the visitor through spectacular rural countryside. There are also many forest roads where it's possible to drive through rainforest with tree ferns, cedars, strangler figs, stag horns, kangaroo ferns, and many varieties of eucalypts.
NOTE: Unfortunately the scenic road to Bellingen is closed until further notice due to flooding in 2009. Funding for the Bellingen Shire section of the road slippage has been granted, while funding for the Nambucca Shire section awaits approval.
