Incredible Photos of the Dorrigo Mountain Road Flood

Bellingen and Dorrigo have had some incredible rain lately, being flooded and blocked off both in February and April.

My mum lives in Bellingen and works in Coffs Harbour and sent me these pictures. I’m not sure who took them but they are just incredible so I thought I’m share them here.

Anyone who has driven from Bellingen up the mountain road to Dorrigo know what a drive it is. Both scary and amazing. A very windy road, very narrow in parts, but also beautiful - what a view and some great waterfalls along the way too.

Not sure how beautiful it would be to see these on your way up!

Only been up through there a few times. Would be interesting to see what Dangar Falls looked like during that time.
