beautiful. I used to live in the land of waterfalls and I miss not having one down the road ..... but then I have a whole ocean at the end of my street so it is a fair trade :)
Fantastic shot, Peter! The falls is so beautiful and the crevices in the rock walls are very large! Nice texture and shades of green in the plant life!
I'm going to try and figure out how to type congrats on the PP,Peter so I can hit one button to comment on your photos! Maybe I should just say it when I comment the first time!!!
Brilliant Peter. What I like about it the most is that I can make my own mind up about the height of the watefall. It could be 2-300 ft shot from a distance, or 2-3cm shot from close up!
@meisen325 The protests were in the Coolangubra area of southeast forests to stop old growth forests being woo chipped and made in to paper. The particular action I was involved related to the Myamba Gorge where there is now a major lookout and a magnificent hike. We hiked down creek over escarpment and waterfall deep into the gorge and out eventually into the lowland farms. There were no tracks so it was wilderness walking at its best. Here is the link, and see also the history section in it: http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/NationalParks/parkLookouts.aspx?id=N0111
@peterdegraaff Thanks for link - just read this on it:
Protests and conflict over forest management practices, the scale of woodchip operations and the loss of old-growth and wilderness values became common in the 1970s. The junction of the Forestry Commission diversion trail and the original Wog Wog forest trail was the site of a major confrontation between conservationists and forestry workers in the 1980s. The Coolangubra Protest site witnessed a symbolic battle over the issue of logging and development of old growth forests in south-east NSW. These protests were instrumental in raising awareness of forestry issues in Australia. This awareness lead to the declaration of several national parks over former state forest areas and eventually to the reservation of the South East Forest National Park.
