the clarence gorge
  
The spectacular Clarence
Gorge
The
Clarence River Gorge provides some of the most rugged and
spectacular scenery in NSW. Thundering waterfalls through impressive
rock formations and tempestuous rapids lead to deep, tranquil pools
and broad, calm waters. Highlights include the beautiful Rainbow,
Cave and Willowtree Falls.
Bass
fishing, canoeing, horse riding, 4WDing and bushwalking are popular
activities but access to the Gorge can only be gained through
private property and prior arrangements MUST be made with one of the
farmstay operators in the area or
with the local 4WD tour operator.
