The little town of Ebor is high up on the Great Dividing Range on the Waterfall Way and not far from Dorrigo. You can feel the altitude here, 1350 metres. The vegetation is sparse and the trees have beards of lichen on the south side of their trunks. When we camp in winter it is very cold. I’ll repeat that, very cold. The recreation reserve has kindly been provided by the locals for free campers and there is a pathway that leads into to the town and pub. Across the road is the walk to the falls which are quite a surprise to see. How can that insignificant little creek put on such a show?
But the big surprise is the air conditioned toilets at the free camp.

You know that Eboracum is the Roman name for York, and that therefore lots of things in the city use the name ‘Ebor’? Any connection do you know?

Not that I can find. The town was founded in 1868 … possibly by a homesick Yorkshire man 😉

It may have been cold in Ebor but our brakes certainly got hot driving down the Dorrigo Pass. Great area to visit.

Such a beautiful area. Thora, Bellingen, Dorrigo. We haven’t been game to take the van on that road. Good on you.

It was very steep and has so many bends. Halfway down we could see smoke coming off the brakes of the car and caravan, but luckily, there was a turn-out to pull into, so we stopped for a while and had a cuppa while the brakes cooled down. Pretty scary!

Gee that’s a word picture and worthy of a cuppa to calm the nerves.
