This Blue Mountains walk which starts at Wilson Park at Wentworth Falls, is named after Charles Darwin who visited the area in 1836. The 2.8Km walk follows Jamison creek almost to the top of Wentworth Falls where there are great views of the falls and the National Park. The walk was reopened after the replacement of some of the timber board walk and three foot bridges due to flood damage last year.

This looks absolutely gorgeous. My only hassle is that I am not so stable on my feet anymore, and uneven terrain is a trial for me.
ReplyDeleteIt looks quite luscious and so green.
ReplyDeleteNo gold as far as I know, Dianne. You have to travel further west to Bathurst.
ReplyDeleteI sympathise Julie, my walking has been curtailed for some months by an accident at the end of last year.
These are beautiful. I have been trying to book a tour of the Blue Mountains Sydney .
