Bombay Falls
Sat 16th Mar 2024
Short notice walk. A different angle on Tallaganda. After driving to Braidwood we drive back west into Tallaganda State Conservation Area, to walk into Bombay Falls, a new sight for many Club members. We will use un-maintained fire trails, sometimes grassy under foot, to cross the gently-rolling country below Mt Palerang, and head off track for 3.5 km to visit Bombay Creek and its falls. The falls may have less water in them than the image shows. The area was burnt in 2019/20, but is recovering. Forecast for Saturday is fine, max 17 degrees.
