Another Trip to Wollomombi

After all the heavy rain we've had in recent weeks, I though I'd drive out to Wollomombi today to see water thundering over the falls. It was a lovely drive through verdant pastures and past farm dams at last full of water, not to mention well-stocked paddocks full of healthy-looking cattle and sheep. And, of course, it rained much of the way. Well the volume of water tumbling over both Wollomombi and Chandler falls was rather disappointing, although quite a lot of passing tourists seemed rather impressed, if not by the thunder of water but at least the magnificence of the canyon below.

Here's the usual view from the main lookout, with Wollomombi falls on the left and the smaller Chandler falls zig-zagging down a similar overall drop, but in many stages. The second and third images focus closer on Wollomombi falls, although taken from two different locations - the second a kilometre down-stream.

The next photo shows the Wollomombi river snaking through the downstream gorge on its way to the sea. Note the flat table-lands landscape through which the gorge has been cut.

And I'll end with a selfie taken with my mobile phone rather than my camera ... just to show that I really was there.
