Grose wilderness
I enjoyed a winter break, time away back in the Blue Mountains, around 100 km west of Sydney.
A place of staggering beauty and wonder. Such peace, solace and joy when there. The silence, the quiet. The deep love, appreciation and immersion in nature.
I love the sights, the smells, the cold temperatures there at this time of year and visiting old haunts that have become family tradition.
This is part of the view of the Grose Wilderness as seen from a bush track near Govetts Leap lookout.
Grose Wilderness is named for Lieutenant Governor Major Francis Grose. In 1793 he sent William Paterson on an expedition to see if the river provided a navigable route through the Blue Mountains.
The Blue Mountains Area is a UNESCO World Heritage site, consisting of 1 million hectares of national park and wilderness dominated by temperate eucalypt forest. The area supports an incredible range of biodiversity.
There are six First Nation groups that have connection to the Country of the Area, for thousands of years tied as it is with Dreaming and ancestry. These are the Darug, Gundungurra, Wiradjuri, Wanaruah, Darkinjung and Tharawal peoples.
