Visit Bellingen - getting here
View Larger Map
Coming from Coffs Harbour, Urunga or Nambucca but don't want to drive?
If you are coming in a group, it can be worthwhile to arrange transport with the
Xcede shuttle bus, which will pick you up from a nominated spot, such as the Coffs Harbour coach station, and return you there after your last concert. This is especially handy if you are planning meal at one of Bellingen's gourmet restaurants during the evening and wish to enjoy a bottle of wine.

Coming by road
From the West
Travelling to Bellingen from Armidale by road takes about two and a half hours. Take Waterfall Way (the Grafton Road) eastwards out of Armidale and follow it right through, turning right at the Ebor T-junction, then right again at the Grafton Road. If you have time, take a break at Wollomombi Falls picnic area for a magnificent short walk with spectacular views of one of the highest waterfalls in Australia. At Dorrigo, you can also find excellent coffee shops for a break.
From the South
Travelling to Bellingen from Sydney takes about seven hours and from Newcastle about four. Travelling on Pacific Highway, turn left onto Waterfall Way soon after Urunga, once you have crossed the bridge over the Bellinger river. Follow this road through to Belllingen.
From the North
Bellingen is about five hours from Brisbane via the Pacific Highway or a little longer via the scenic route, through Kyogle. Coming from the North, drive southwards through Coffs Harbour on Pacific Highway for about 20 minutes and then take the Waterfall Way exit to Bellingen, crossing the overpass as you leave the highway. Bellingen is another 20 minutes.
