Gangudy (Dunns Swamp) Wollemi NP

Cold but beautiful start to the day where an unusual bird flew in and stood right next to us while eating breakfast. Interesting finding our way back along the track past some old buildings and relics from the oil shale mines to Lithgow, trying to miss the pot holes, etc. Thankfully while back in civilisation we noticed we had a slow puncture thanks to a screw in one of the tyres! Once sorted we made our way further north west through the Capertee Valley (second widest canyon in the world, just not as deep) and back into the Wollema NP where this area is also recognised by the pagoda rock formations. Another bit of unsealed road, where we saw our first kookaburras, and we got to Dunns Swamp. This is a great camping spot where apparently there are platypus! Haven't seen any but plenty of other wildlife like parrots, wallabies, waterfowl and possums that creep up on you in the dark.Read more
