0539 Gangar's Gorge

Not far out from Armidale is Dangars Fall. We decided to visit the fall as there ad been some recent rain in the area. The falls are really impressive. Equally impressive is the gorge below the falls. The best view I feel is not far from the car park just down the hill from the covered picnic area. You can also walk along the rim of the gorge to the top of the falls to get a different perspective. There are a couple of other walks which we didn't do which take you across the river which feeds the falls to the other side. FROM: Anita T comment IMAGE BY: Hazel Hogarth TAKEN: October 2017
