4WDRIVING

is an unpaved road that runs south from Wentworth
Falls along the clifftops above Kedumba Walls. The
road ends at McMahons Lookout, where you can stand
some 500 m above Lake Burragorang and survey the huge
reservoir that supplies most of Sydney's water.
FISHING
Trout fishing is a popular at the local and relaxing
