Dunn's Swamp

Years ago I heard that we had a canyon bigger than the Grand Canyon - Capertee. So today I took the road around the bottom of the canyon. Unfortunately it was raining, so I couldn't get photos, but in the morning I'll get a panorama from Mount Pilot, which overlooks it.

Tonight I'm staying at Dunn's Swamp, a National Park campground in Wollemi National Park, which is extraordinary! It has beehive shaped rocks (very weathered like the Bungle-Bungles, but called pagodas), which also have some Aboriginal Rock Art on them, and the campground surrounds the rocks. There is also the weir, and people canoe and fish here. It's very popular, and there must be at least 30 people here.

There are two easy walks - the campsite loop which goes around the pagodas, and the weir walk. Tonight I did the campsite walk and saw several of the wallabies, kookaburras and a lot of other birds.
