| Anyone
who has experienced the walk through the Goulburn
River Gorge or picnicked under soaring sandstone cliffs
at ‘The Drip’ can vouch for the natural beauty
and soul of this special place. Also known as the
'Great Dripping Wall' it features a delicate curtain
of dripping water fed from nearby springs gently falling from
the over- arching cliffs, weeping bottlebrush and ferns. This
magnificent natural feature and others in the adjacent Goulburn
River National Park, are threatened by the expansion
of coal mining in this sensitive area!
Only 50 kms north of Mudgee and 35kms east from Gulgong
(Central-west NSW see map),
'The Drip' and other stunning cliffs and caves along the
Goulburn River are easily accessible from the Cassilis Ulan
road - making it both a significant public recreational
area and environmental landmark. It is essential this area
remains as a source of inspiration, recreation, education
and learning for all people !
