Washpool National Park

Kylz I have done the 4 day( can be done quicker) circle walk of the two parks in March a couple of years ago. The two parks are right next to each other but have completely different eco systems based on geology (soil) and lesser extent rainfall. The main camp () site has a large swimable creek, though I found the water quite cool in mid-late March, and there were leeches galore in the creek and adjacent flat, but not 100m further up in Mulligans. I would definitely be booking soon if I was going.

The Gibraltar Range is typical of New England granite country, where as the NP is sub tropical rainforest. Gibraltar in places has wonderful views of steep valleys and gorges running north. With a car shuffle, you could easily break the walks up (car at each end) after establishing with the ranger what takes your interest.

On their own, 6 days may be a bit long, but it's not far down the hill to the Nymboida region which is a canoeists haven, quite different again. It is really up to how much the kids are happy to walk and how happy they are to play amongst themselves. I know families who have gone there for Easter and had a ball, but your kids may be different and be bored.
There are lots to see around Coffs Harbour on the way up, the Dorrigo-Bellingen areas are real gems.

Hi Kylie 1
I take my class on an excursion to that area every two years, there is plenty to do. Check out Washpool, Gibralter then have a look at Boundary creek falls and Raspberry lookout all within about 5-10 ks of each other. You can swim at Washpool and Gibralter go walking down the creek at boundary creek falls. You can go for a drive into Glenn Innes if you want to. But I feel there is plent to do
