A rarely visited creek on the central coast always gives me my forest fix. Its not too far off the beaten track, a good camp spot and a half hours walk is rewarded with a cascading waterfall and cold deep pools. Strip off and ease yourself in, just the thing to ease the 7 Mile Beach sunburn.
Last visit we saw eels, fire-flys, a lyre-bird, a big golden snake and stinging trees.
The creek winds down out of a deep gorge filled with slow swirling reflections and carved sandstone. The water rings and gurgles out of shaddowy plunge pools. There are the remnants of old mines and tracks which have been taken back by the bush.
A quiet place to free the spirit.
