Don's Deep. It was great to see water flowing again in the valley after the long drought. The vegetation changes significantly in various parts of the landscape, with casuarinas along the river, bright green dry rainforest in the protected gullies (often dominated by Pittosporum undulatum in this area), and eucalypt forest on the slopes, ridge lines and cliff tops.

Don's Deep.

Don. I have found that two pairs of socks and outsize joggers are much kinder on my feet than very expensive leather bushwalking boots. Since the change I have had no problems with blisters or lost toenails.
