TEETERING CLIFFS – MAELSTROM CAVE

Yuri wanted to revisit this area off the D’Arcy Range before the gate was shut. The word “teetering” did not inspire confidence: I imagined small precarious cliff ledges – it was a Yuri walk after all!

We descended the slope and reached the cliff line level stopping to look at caves/overhangs and the marvelous sandstone patters. The teetering cliffs materialised: no smooth walls, just a bunch of large rocks thrown together: it seemed like they could fall any day!
We continued to Maelstrom Cave with its multi-layers of sandstone.

Time was passing by and we made our way up a dry creek back to the top and eventually to the cars.

A permit to access the area was obtained from NSW Parks and Wildlife Service.
