The Drip in New South Wales is a popular natural attraction known for its beautiful sandstone walls and a cool, refreshing atmosphere. It's located within the Goulburn River State Conservation Area, on the western edge of Goulburn River National Park.
Here's a breakdown of what The Drip has to offer:
Natural Beauty:
- The Great Dripping Wall: The star attraction is a porous section of sandstone wall that rainwater seeps through,creating a natural "drip" effect. This makes The Drip a cool oasis, especially on hot summer days. The surrounding sandstone cliffs and the flowing water create a picturesque scene.
- Rockpools: The base of the dripping wall has shallow rockpools, perfect for cooling off your feet or paddling for little ones (remember, adult supervision is always necessary around water).
Hiking:
- The Drip Walking Track: A well-maintained return track leads you from the carpark to The Drip. The track is around 2 km long (each way) and is considered an easy walk. However, there are some short, steep hills, over 250 steps, uneven rocks, and creek crossings to navigate. It's best to wear long pants and enclosed shoes for a comfortable hike.
Things to Consider:
- No camping or fires are allowed at The Drip. If you're looking for camping options, nearby Spring Gully or Big River campgrounds are good choices.
- The best time to experience The Drip is after a few days of rain when the water flow is at its most impressive.
- During dry periods, the water flow might be minimal.
Overall, The Drip offers a beautiful and refreshing escape into nature, perfect for a family day trip or a short hike.
