The main entry point is from the
Dangars Falls car park and the NPWS track system that leads off
from there. This is only public access to the Macleay river
system with 75 km of Armidale.
A further brochure “Oxley Wild
Rivers National Park- Wild River Walks-Salisbury Waters, Dangars
Gorge”- also available above- describes a much more challenging
day-walk down into Salisbury Waters
The NPWS track system gives
access to Salisbury Waters, which becomes the Macleay River
about two days down. You would have to walk another 2 days
downstream before you can exit onto public land. Shorter loop
walks all pass through private property.
Most people prefer to start loop
walks from off the Sherwood Road at ‘Ben Nevis’ (Col- link to
Ben Nevis Start from the Winterbourne website), or from the
end of Blue Nobby road (at Blue NobbyMountain (Col-
link to All Blue Nobby Start). See the Map for an overview
of these areas.
