SECRET GULLY
is a beautiful small valley set in the eastern edge of the "granite
country" in the Great Dividing Range of Northern New South Wales,
Australia. The granite country is distinguished by massive boulders
and majestic granite capped mountains and ridges. Secret Gully is
surrounded by ridges and spurs rising 300 metres and more above the
valley floor.
Through
the heart of Secret Gully runs a dramatic waterway. Draining around
120 square kilometres of high rainfall country, the creek/river can
quickly change from a sleepy chain of ponds to a pounding majestic
floodway plunging through a set of twisting rapids that plummet through
a steep gorge.
The valley
itself was once the bed of the creek which runs through Secret Gully.
But in some distant time, a mighty flood must have carved a new pathway,
creating the rocky gorge, and leaving the old creek bed as a little
perched valley. The old bed gradually filled up with sandy material
washed from the decaying granite hills, thus creating a tiny level
valley floor in the midst of endless towering granite ridges. |
