Yarriabini National Park — Attraction in Way Way

We drove into the national park from the entry point at Grassy Head, and exited about three hours later at the western side near the Pacific Highway. All roads inside the park are unsealed. It was a slow 12km drive from Grassy Head to the main lookout. The views from the south, over the Macleay Valley are stunning. It is quicker to get to the main lookout via the Pacific Highway entry from Warrell Creek, just south of Macksville. If you make it all the way to the lookout, we recommend that you drive or walk from the extra 800 metres main lookout around to the transmission masts - you'll see witness some more excellent views of the south-west from this point - it is also the trig point for the region....you'll come across that trig station when you visit there.
