Orara East State Forest is located within a short drive of Coffs Harbour and incorporates Bruxner Flora Reserve and Niigi Niigi /Sealy Lookout. It's part of the amazing State Forests of the Coffs Coast.

The forest and reserve are uniquely beautiful, with a wide variety of interesting flora and fauna. The Forest Sky Pier at Sealy Lookout is the perfect spot to stop and take in the 180-degree views of the Coffs Coast, and best of all it's free! There are parking, toilets, and picnic tables available at the Lookout.

The Giingan Gumbaynggirr Cultural Experience Tours are a great way to learn about The life of the Gumbaynggirr people, the Traditional Owners of the land. Gumagli Track is a unique experience, sharing the story of Gumgali the Black Goanna through sculpture, art, and sound before finishing at Korora Lookout.

Coffs Treetops awaits those who want to 'monkey around' in the trees. For those prepared to venture a little further, the Halfway Point picnic area is a great place to take a break whilst enjoying the rainforest atmosphere and access the network of amazing rainforest walking tracks.
