Enjoy swimming and fishing, then continue to Dungeon lookout, where youll have views over the steep river gorge and canopy of white cypress pines.
After lunch, grab your binoculars and go birdwatching. Youll see speckled warblers and thornbills by the river, as well the stunning turquoise feathers of the sacred kingfisher. At dusk, brush tailed possums and squirrel gliders dart among the river oaks. If youre lucky, youll spot a small southern boobook owlperched on nearby branch.
