Above - Our objective was to traverse on the ledge to the headland and then hopefully descend to Megalong.

Above - Looking back along the ledge we had traversed.



Above - We continue out to the point. At one stage we pass a rope hanging down from a higher level - probably a pass up through the cliffs.

Above - Looking towards the Radiata Plateau



Above - The ledge is thinner here



Above - looking back



Above - Near the headland. We descended a little further along - very close to the nose. The ledge did not continue around the corner.



Above - Below the headland, we find two depressions - that look like they were once shale mine adits. Further down we came across this sloping pathway. The side had been built up with rocks - so it was man made. This was a fair way above the tramway level.

Above - What animal made these footprints?



Above - The "Big Hole" - a huge cavern - visited with some difficulty by members of the Catholic Bushwalking Club in 1986.
