West Kunderang

Bookings are essential and gate code access is organised the day before  you enter West Kunderang, when we also discuss estimated time of arrival, road & weather conditions, and current river-levels.

Vehicular Access from Armidale or Kempsey is via the unsealed Kempsey and Raspberry Forestry Roads. The last 4km into the West Kunderang Recreational Retreat is a steep cutting, with sharp corners and deep dish drains, suitable for 4WDs towing 16ft conventional or 18ft offroad caravans only.

Access Via Armidale or Grafton/Coffs Harbour, via Ebor

VIA ARMIDALE: Take the Grafton Road (Waterfall Way) east of Armidale for approximately forty kilometres, bypassing Wollomombi. Continue across the Chandler River Bridge and turn immediately right onto the Kempsey Road.

VIA EBOR: if you are coming from the north via Grafton you will turn left onto Waterfall Way after leaving Ebor and turn left onto the Kempsey Road immediately before the Chandler River Bridge.

Continue east 20 kilometres along Kempsey Road crossing the Styx River Bridge until you reach Raspberry Road turnoff on the right.

Raspberry Road to WEST KUNDERANG

Take this turnoff and continue along Raspberry Road for approximately 34 kilometres until you reach the East Kunderang / West Kunderang junction. (Do not be tempted to veer off on any roads before this junction.) Take the right hand fork to West Kunderang. Keep going for 2.5 kilometres until you reach the locked gate. Please leave the gate as you find it. After proceeding through the gate, engage appropriate low gear and continue down cutting for approximately 6 kilometres.

Go through two gates and follow the road to your designated camping site.

Continue on to enjoy your stay!

Non-vehicular recreational users (ie. hikers, canoeists) should register your itinerary, emergency evacuation procedures and next of kin details, along with payment of camping fees (if applicable) before entering West Kunderang.
