155 km south-west of Sydney, 17 km south of Moss Vale.
Within the 109,685
ha of Morton National Park, rivers have eroded deep gorges in the colourful
sandstone plateau, producing spectacular scenery with cascading waterfalls,
cliffs and mesas. Birds, kangaroos, possums and other wildlife are plentiful
in the depths of the forest valleys.
Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife funding for the acquisition of approximately 30 hectares
in the southern end of Morton National Park has not only secured part
of the western side of the beautiful Clyde River Gorge, but also opened
immediate access to a most popular area.>
Two recent bequests
to the Foundation added a further 2,087 hectares of previously unprotected
wilderness land to Ettrema Wilderness and Budawang Wilderness in Morton
National Park.
