Now a nature reserve where once the Ngadjuri people wandered alongside the Burra-Burra Creek several kilometers out of the old heritage Copper township of Burra. Back in 1845 a couple of shepherds discovered copper which caused a population expansion. Men women and children lived in tiny dugouts in the banks of the Burra Creek. Scots, Cornish, Welsh and English lived in tiny separate villages. Trees were stripped to feed the furnaces and smelting works.

We spent an afternoon enjoying the ambience of the gorge - and I had my camera with me.
