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...

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/

    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!
