Guula Ngurra 170824
Ever since visiting Baldy Billy Peak in April 2022, I've thought it would be a great place to see a sunrise and/or sunset. It's a short easyish walk, recently made more accessible by NSW National Parks. Saturday, August 17th was the monthly meeting of the Mullyang Bushcare group in the Tugalong section of Guula Ngurra National Park. I decided I'd head off early and do the roughly two kilometre walk from the Dirrang management trail car park. Setting off at 5:30am from the car park, I reached the base of Baly Billy by the time of first light. Once at the top, it was only 20 minutes before the sun peeked over the ridge to the east. On my way out in the dark I noticed lots of Emu scats. Prev...

Egretta novaehollandiae

While walking along the rock platform at Flagstaff Point I observed an Egretta novaehollandiae (White-faced heron) using their disturbing strategy to forage for food. Keep an eye on the leg movements. The bird seemed to be catching crabs very successfully. Photos - www.flickr.com/photos/tony_markham/albums/72177720318981555/

So cute!
Beautifully captured! Thank you.
Beautiful place dodgy entrance so quick too change
Looks like a beautiful walk. Where did you go in and out from?
We started at Bundeena and came out at Marley, via Deer Pool to the Marley car park.
Great shot of the sun rays through the trees
Thanks. I was in the right place at the right time.
Great video. Thanks for sharing... Gives a great sense of the beauty and pristine quality of the creek, and also what's involved in off-track bushwalking. Such an atmospheric spot. It is fascinating to imagine the community that lived there... how they got their food, how they entertained themselves, and why they chose such a remote spot. I have taken both the lovely trek up the creek that you did and also the insane scrub-bash from the Dam road and both routes are incredibly challenging - so it is incredible that people decided to live there. I think you must be right about the proximity to the Dam..... perhaps an option for people that picked up work there but couldn't afford (or didn't qualify for) accommodation there. Some of the levelled areas have the same design as spots along the Dam road near Heathcote and so perhaps a similar provenance. Actually my favourite spot on the walk up Myuna Creek is the second upstream pool and the incredible expanse of flat bare rock on the creek bed... magical!
Heu mate
Hi
I can hear a lot of pups calling for mum and mums replying. And adults telling each other bat jokes
Noisy lot aren't they
What were you doing surveying invertebrate life?
macro invertebrates
It's a great creek for sure. Been up there many times as a teenager. Love the RNP.
It's not in very good condition at the moment.
Any Paratya present?@@TonyMarkham
May I ask where did you start following the creek from? and was it upstream or downstream?
also how far into the walk is 6:45
I followed it downstream. There was no track, I just followed the creek. Thanks for reminding me of this walk. It was a very interesting and beautiful walk.
Is the confluence of Camp gully ck and Hacking River easyish to access? I wouldn't mind doing a waterbug survey above and below the confluence to get a sense of foodweb impact.
It's easy once you know. I'm happy to show you.
See any trout getting around down there mate?
On a previous visit I saw a big fish turn & splash in the swallow water. It quickly moved into the shadows and I couldn't make out what it was. I have observed guys catching Redfin in the Wingecarribee River. ruclips.net/video/glFiFY9eI2I/видео.html
@@TonyMarkham True! I have a video on my channel catching alot of trout and carp in the wollondilly also. But ive only fished one section of it. I will do another hike soon. Such a pretty place.... cheers.
Nice place, worth a visit. I'm wondering where the second pool is, upstream or downstream. They keep this place a secret.
upstream pretty sure
Whats the sign about? RIP WALLY?
I've no idea.
@@TonyMarkham It could be for a wombat named Wally?
Good stuff, thanks for sharing.

Wood ducks r such a beautiful type of duck I love those
Stunning images, as always! I'm loving the sound track of constant bird chorus.
God they're so beautiful, should be fully protected. I don't them harmed at all. I love all native wildlife.
The audio is fantastic, what equipment do you use?
Sony ILCE-6000

Wonderful video. Love the birds...thank you.
Hi mate. Nice peaceful video. I’m wondering if camping is allowed there?
Not at this stage. It's public access on private land.
Wow! Terrific photography!
Delightful Tony! I really enjoyed seeing this. The sounds and birds, trees and water..... Thank you.
Wonderful bird soundscape! Choughs!
Nice work - did you find tracks of either species?
A couple of Quoll scats and many fox scats.
Fabulous!! 😀
You should join me one day.
Superb bird song!
No comments really the mayor with no comments ,talk about where they hell is I C AC on this religious sect leaders play in Wollongong . Saturated with churches schooling all money making institutions that this man makes sure is catered for. His king are not good his kind are not liked .that is clear with no comments .it is the elephant in the room and I am prepared to say it.
Twit walks into a place that is a coal mining Ning steel producer and plays a religious hand.as sect leader for the saturated religious sect groups pushed n Wollongong. If it was not for coal and steel production this are would not even know exist. This is a person who plays philosphy over facts.
Religious sect group leader.denies connection to religious groups. still ten years on in Wollongong. Time for an actual person a real person .
They sure must love fishing.
Looks like a beautiful spot, though probably still pretty cold!
It was not too bad. Warmer than the ocean.
Hey mate, do you happen to have a lat/long of those old building remains?
Sorry, I don't. An 80 year old friend took me there. It's in a restricted area.
