In Auburn River National Park, the spectacular Auburn River flows over huge salmon-coloured boulders as it courses through a steep-sided gorge. Look up along the clifftops for the nests of Peregrine falcons. The forest and waterholes are also good spots for birdwatching. Weeping red bottlebrushes contrast with dark green stunted figs and flowering tea-trees along the creek. In spring, there are wildflowers to admire.A 150 metre walking track leads to a lookout far above the river. Another quite strenuous trail winds down the side of the gorge.
