Australia: The Land Where Time Began

A biography of the Australian continent 

Bungonia State Conservation Area

Highlights: The network of tracks and lookouts offer fabulous river and canyon views and access to one of Australia's prime caving spots.

Activities: There are plenty of opportunities for bushwalking and various types of adventure recreation, such as canyoning and caving (BASE jumping prohibited). You can also go canoeing on the Shoalhaven River - though you'll need to carry your canoe down long, steep tracks to the water. The park has a well-equipped car-based camping area.

Access: 175 km south-west of Sydney, 35 km east of Goulburn and 25 km south of Marulan via Bungonia along Lookdown Road.
