One of our favourite weekend getaway
places. Paddling to the upstream end of the
lake is a magical experience. Downstream toward the
dam wall is just as nice in a different way with rugged
sandstone cliffs and sunlit reflections of the ripples being cast onto overhanging rocks.
The
campground is a bit loved to death but
well maintained by NSW nat parks.
It's a great base from which to walk and explore.
We enjoyed a quite moving experience there some time ago. We were the only ones there at the time, returning from a walk in the golden light of late afternoon, when we heard the most magnificent, haunting didgeridoo echoing from among
the rock formations in the
campground. We sat and listened for some time, transfixed. When it finished a
ranger, a Wiradjuri traditional owner, emerged and explained that he was taking advantage of the solitude to pay his respects to country and his ancestors.
It was a special moment which we won't forget. We felt quite privileged to have been there.
