Rock Hopping Macleay 92446.065

Another lovely campsite. At 92878/06796

The Macleay now has some anabranches- wide channels that only carry water when it is flooding. This one is at 93119/06579.

This is the biggest clump of cedars I know on the upper Macleay-I think there are only 7 mature trees. The early 1800s saw a ‘rush’ for the ‘Red Gold’, and much of it was cut out then.

Looking UP the Macleay from 942/068, the big scree is the landmark that leads you to the cedars growing along its lower edge.

This year (2011) wild pig numbers have zoomed in the Apsley/Macleay system- hence the extensive area ploughed up at 939/066.
