The Drip was a lovely walk alongside the Goulburn river near Ulan, to another natural sandstone outcrop, from the top of which guess what dripped?   The valley / gorge floor.

The drip… well it may have been a bit further on but the recent rain had raised river level so we could not go any further.

Paul map reading, trying to figure out if we were there yet.

Some nice moss and lichen zonation on the rock face.  Moss in the damper regions and lichen on the vertical face. 

There is a lot of open cast coal mining in the area (open cut, the Australians say).  Huge areas of countryside decimated.  You can see two coal seems here but there may be more beneath this.  We couldn’t get any closer. 

The main cargo for the railways seems to be coal and minerals.  You can just see train carriage being filled up with coal here.

Conveyor belts of coal going into graders (we assume).

A boys toy.

Here’s a small s(p)oil heap.
