This is where you come closest to the edge of Polands Gorge, on
your right to the E at AG66 955.870 on the Winterbourne map.
Unfortunately, the dense timber allows only glimpses of the gorge
way below, and as this is a designated wilderness area, the chances
of the NPWS cutting a gap in the trees and putting in a lookout
platform are pretty remote. So enjoy the wildflowers and the
steady downhill. The turnoff to Oven Camp Ridge is
indistinguishable now, but this was the point where cattle were once
driven up from the flats about 800 m below to the relatively
level ridge on their way to market. If you ever walk up Oven Camp
Ridge, you’ll appreciate just what a feat that was.

This is the closest you get to Polands Gorge AG66 955.870- on the
right. The thick cover precludes a good view. |
About AG66 957.877- a
gentle downhill is always appreciated!
