Kedumba

Drove up to Kings Tablelands at Wentworth Falls after work and slept in the car as a heavy fog made everything wet outside.
A 20klm walk down to the patch of green in the centre of picture and back. 

                                       The cliff line from the first switchback in Kedumba pass.

Looking back to the Katoomba cliffs at the head of the valley from Kedumba Pass. 
Seemed to be walking downhill forever.The Kedumba slab hut and the surrounding cleared farm are not far from the exclusion zone surrounding Lake Burragorang.


Looking up at Kedumba Walls on Kings Tableland. 


The Kedumba River crossing. 


The old farm area was teeming with Kangaroos and wallabies. 

Back at the car, looking down into the valley. Kedumba Pass is off the first head on the left with Lions Head in the centre left.

Wombat Hill walk from Merlya Pass

Merlya pass is an old track through the yarrunga Creek Valley and on to the Kangaroo Valley.
Rather than go down the pass follow the closed road into the Endrick Wilderness and on to Wombat Hill.


The first view of the cliffline just after the start of the walk.

Looking across Yarrunga Creek to Mount Moollattoo
