If I’d seen the exit route Caz had planned for us that afternoon maybe I wouldn’t have been enjoying myself so much – paddling about all carefree and innocent down in the Nymboida Gorge on my lilo.
The day started easily enough
with a bush bash off Moses Rock Road, through some familiar forest of
blackbutt, white mahogany, low heath plants and forest oaks. It took about 45
minutes to reach the end of the ridge where a large formation of rock protrudes
from the scrub, giving us clear views up and down the Nymboida River valley.
This stretch of the river is
renowned worldwide as a white water rafting destination with grade 3 to 5
rapids, depending on the water level, grinding their way around massive
boulders and dropping into long peaceful pools of deep green water.
