Badgerys Crossing Place


Badgerys Lookout is a short drive from Tallong in the Southern Tablelands.
It looks out over the Shoalhaven Gorge. From here you can walk down Badgerys Spur to a crossing place on the river. I didn't cross the river on this walk but went downstream on the left bank for a few kilometres. Mostly easy walking with a few scrambling and weedy spots.Only 9.6klm for the day but nearly 500mtr climb down and back out.

Looking over Mt Pollock and Kingpin Mountain to the scar of the Bungonia Limestone Quarry

Beautiful river scenery













I again had the whole gorge to myself and didn't see a soul all day. 
Good for my soul.
