Favorite thing: The river that runs through is called Mongarlowe but there's not a lot of water pouring over the small rapids so it is only in flood that it would get you excited. No, this is more your tranquil stream.
It's situated about 30 kms out of Braidwood and when you take the turn off to the park you are apt to see dead wombats (opening pic) on the side of the road. This is due to the fact that they are fairly prolific in this area and you are bound to notice some wombat holes as well.

Fondest memory: I crossed over and tried 15 different ways to shoot a cascade (pics 2 & 3) while George wandered off to find his stump that he's elaborated on in his tips.
There was bird life there and I managed a pic of a yellow robin (pic 4) and a fantail (pic 5) bt I will have to return one day because there is ample bird life there but it takes more time than I had to get some decent shots.

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
