Woronora River Walk – 2 November 2017

This was a pleasant and interesting walk largely in Heathcote National Park with Digi Dave. Digi wanted to visit Kingdom Come on the Woronora River and he suggested we start from Waterfall, and that way we could visit an interesting Aboriginal rock engraving site that he knew about.

We set off along a fire road and soon turned off and followed a very faint track through scrub to a nice rock platform. Here we found several large rock engravings, a few smaller ones and many sets of axe sharpening grooves. This was quite an amazing site.

We then proceeded along the fire road and followed it down into a gully and eventually reaching Heathcote Creek. Along the way we had noticed some old power lines. It looked like an old supply for Woronora Dam.

Next we climbed up to the Bulawaring Track and then to Goanna Track to reach the water pipeline.

We then followed the pipeline access road. On the way we stop to photograph a nice flock of Yellow Tailed Black Cockatoos.

We then left the road and walked along a faint track to Kingdom Come on the Woronora River. This is an old historic campsite used by bushwalkers that I have mentioned before on this blog.

We then found shady area on the big area of rock platforms below the Boobera Pool for lunch.

We returned back to Waterfall much the same way – Goanna Track, Bullawaring Track, but  turned off and went up the Mooray Track for the last part.

Higher up, back on a fire road – I noticed a small rocky area close by that had some waterholes. I thought I would check it out for signs of Aboriginal Art. No art, but we did spot a set of grinding grooves.

More photos from this walk are online here on my website.  Thanks to Digi Dave for suggesting the walk.
