Grafton Senior Citizens recently held their February bus trip (first for new year), to Dorrigo with 36 passengers. The day began with a drive on Armidale Road, then North Dorrigo Road, then to Dangar Falls for a picnic morning tea, while taking in view of falls. Here we were greeted by a local resident, who is a member of local museum. Next stop was the local museum to view displays, then the nearby Rainforest Centre & Skywalk and Griffiths Lookout to take in the view, which covers areas beyond Bellingen to the coast. Then journey down Dorrigo mountain on Waterfall Way, past waterfalls, to Bellingen, with final journey home through Coffs Harbour. Thanks to our coach captain, Tony, for a great day, all passengers for their support, committee & all involved in arranging trip, & serving morning tea.
