Comboyne
Attractive
rural township in the hinterland behind Port Macquarie
Comboyne is an attractive rural township located
437 km north of Sydney. It is a pleasant, sleepy destination surrounded
by particularly beautiful bushwalking country.
Things to see:
Ellenborough Falls
Ellenborough Falls is located on the Bulga Plateau.
Proceed west of Wauchope along the Oxley Highway for 11 km then turn
left onto the signposted sealed road for Comboyne (another 20 km). From
Comboyne, follow the Wingham Rd for 7 km (the first 5 km are sealed)
then turn right into Boorganna Rd (signposted for Elands, which is 16
km away). The tarmac soon runs out. After 4 km there is an intersection
at which you must keep to the right. Boorganna Rd soon becomes Colling
Pass Rd which will take you to Elands. From Elands, head north along
Glenwarrin Rd for 3 km and you will come to a turnoff on the right to
the falls which drop160 m, making them one of the longest single-drop
falls in the Southern Hemisphere.

The cliffs and ranges beyond Comboyne

There are barbecue
facilities and toilets, a lookout near the top of the falls and a good
footpath which leads a few hundred metres to a full view of the drop.
If you continue along the less well defined track it leads to an even
better vantage point.
Boorganna Nature Reserve
From Comboyne, follow the Wingham Rd for 3 km then
turn right into Innes View Rd (sealed). After another 3 km there is a
signpost which indicates the start of a 1-km walking track that leads
through remnant rainforest to a lookout at Rawson Falls. The reserve
possesses a diversity of rocks, soil, landscape, plants and animals.
