Woolpack Rocks was a lovely day walk while my wife did an assignment.

If you want something longer, the Dangars Falls to Salisbury Waters walk in Oxley Wild Rivers NP is worthwhile. About 14km or 15km return from memory. Has a section of quite steep gorge descent and some great scenery including the falls near the start. It's also a fairly short drive from Armidale, maybe 1/2 hour or so I think (was a few years ago).

Some nice walks in the New England National Park, especially the Five Day Creek walk.

Dangars Gorge or Gara Gorge - both are about a 15-20 minute drive from Armidale. Gara is an easier, more graded walk.
