Due to my mistake I will miss out 17th of " 2012 let us walk 18 of best day walks in Australia"
17. Rosewood Creek Circuit, Dorrigo, NSW
(7.5 km; 4 hrs; moderate)
Starting from the Never Never Picnic Area, this walk explores the subtropical rainforest of Dorrigo National Park. Although most of the track isn’t difficult, steep sections near the Cedar and Coachwood falls, which offer spectacular views, make it tougher than the usual easy walks. Take a side track and cool off at the bottom of Cedar Falls, but watch your step crossing the slippery rocks. From here, the forest turns into warm temperate rainforest and Coachwood Falls is a further 1 km down the main track, with another deep pool at the top of the falls suitable for cooling off with another refreshing dip.
for this Sunday April 1, 2012.
I will go to walk some tracks at Myall Lake National Park, instead

Some of those such as :
Mungo Track
The park starts 4.3 km north of Kingfisher Ave, Hawks Nest. There is an information board at this point. You can walk the 21-km Mungo Track to Mungo Brush, a popular camping and picnic spot on the southern shore of The Broadwater, the southernmost of the three Myall Lakes where the bird life is prolific. It starts from a signposted spot 750 m along the road from the information board.
Dark Point Walk and Wildflower Walk
8 km from the information board is the start of the Dark Point walk to the right and the Wildflower Walk to the left. The former leads over a series of impressive sand dunes to a beautiful and unspoiled coastline looking out over Broughton Island. Both Broughton Island and the waters off Little Gibber are noted diving spots. The former is also well-suited to fishing and bushwalking. However, access is only provided in the summer season from Nelson Bay and, sometimes, Tea Gardens. Otherwise you must make your own way. Little Broughton Island is an important breeding location for a number of birds. The Wildflower Walk, and the park in general, are best between August and October.

Mungo Brush Rainforest Walk
The Mungo Brush Rainforest Walk departs from the northern edge of Mungo Brush campsite and is essentially a loop walk but it can be as long or short as you like as the paths branch off to other paths. The first portion of the walk takes you to the lakeside and then turns off into some dense and quite beautiful rainforest. You will notice that you are passing from sand to stone, from paperbark to rainforest, indicating that you are stepping on to one of the area's ancient volcanic peaks. Mungo Brush itself is a small rocky hill that was once an offshore island. There is plenty of wildlife about the area. Amongst the sedges, broad-leafed paperbark, swamp oak, coogera and brush bloodwood are lorikeets, wattle birds, honeyeaters, bowerbirds, kookaburras, green catbirds, little terns, ground parrots, the jabiru and tawny frogmouth, eastern grey kangaroos, echidnae, lace monitors, koalas, sugar gliders, ring-tailed possums, carpet pythons, flying foxes and bandicoots. There are also marsupial mice and dingoes in the park. There is a boat ramp at Mungo Brush and caravan sites are available from September 15 to October 15 and from December to April
