I recall stepping off a ledge into a deep part of the river. Can anyone confirm this ledge exists.

I also spent an hour there this morning. (Friday 8th March 2019)<br />The road down is well maintained, and quite doable. It is a peaceful spot - yes, marred by spray painted graffiti.<br />Much of it is just as I remembered it, although the bush is less dense, perhaps due to fire or clearing by Council.ChrisMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06729969078659389266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6619816076262367330.post-56350959421399741452018-07-21T23:27:57.945+10:002018-07-21T23:27:57.945+10:00I explored the woolwash with my children 3 days a...I explored the woolwash with my children 3 days ago. sad to see rubbish graffiti on the sandstone rocks from the local residents and burn out car shells along the way too. Such a shame really. Wouldn't swim in the river there due to river grass and algae on the water.
