Cataract Dam

Quick stop for lunch at Cataract dam off the Wollongong/Appin Road

Well maintained picnic grounds and a short walk across the dam wall.

Beauty and function.

Outflow from the dam is sent down Cataract River to Broughton Pass where it is pumped up to a canal and down to Prospect Reservoir for Sydney's water.

Seven Mile Beach National Park

Stopped at the park for coffee and to do the short loop walk behind the dunes and back along the beach.
 

 

 

 

Was surprised to find a seal resting on the beach and enjoying the morning sun.

Took photos from about a metre away and after looking at me he (or her) just went back to sleep. 

Forest behind the dunes.

 

Bomaderry Creek Gorge

Was told that Bomaderry Creek was a great paddle up a gorge and would be protected from the strong winds we were having. Decided not to paddle but walk the gorge from the Bomaderry Creek regional Park.

A hidden gem, with the entrance only 300 metres fom the highway coming in to Nowra.

Walked the 5.5klm loop along both sides of the creek. Had only allowed for a quick stop so so raced around the stated 3 hour walk in one hour.

Reminiscent of some of the Blue Mountain walks and gorges.

 

 

 

 

Really enjoyed this walk so will definitely be back.
