At the end of a fire trail, overlooking the Grose Valley in Blackheath is Hanging Rock. No prizes for guessing how it got its name! This is truly a sight to behold in reality, no camera can convey the enormity and the ancient feel that the landscape induces in oneself.

Just like the other valleys in the Blue Mounatians, the Grose Valley is home to numerous trails and vantage points that allow you to gain brilliant insight into an age old attraction. The natural beauty and spectacular features within each of the main valleys of the mountains are brilliant when examined up close, yet amazingly simplistic when viewed from above.

This photo was taken at Evans Lookout, Blackheath in the Blue Mountains. It over looks the Grose Valley and many spectacular gorges. As you can see it was a hazy day however I was able to get a clear patch to the right before it moved in completely.

This photograph was taken at Evans Lookout in Blackheath, looking out upon the Grose Valley in the Blue Mountains National Park, Blue Mountains, New South Wales, Australia. I arrived at this lookout just in time to catch a rain storm rolling through the valley and also a rainbow. I had the best of both worlds. I stayed at this lookout for about 15 minutes, just to see how long it took for the rain to arrive where I was, it didn’t take long, I’m always amazed how fast the weather moves up here.

This photograph is taken of the Grose Valley in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales in Australia, as seen from Evans Lookout. Taken on the same occasion as my Storm Valley shot. The storm engulfed the Grose Valley in no time at all. It was fascinating to watch it approaching, though it was not long after this that I had to take cover. Photograph taken early February 2008.

David Iori Photography Website / Email Me / . / © Copyright 2009 David Iori Photography, All Rights Reserved / . / Nikon D200 / . / Grose Valley from Govetts Leap lookout II Best Viewed Large / . / 30 images shot one over one under HDR in portrait mode to create 10 images then stitched together. 100% Crop I wanted to capture the waterfall in this Panorama At Govetts Leap the falls plummet about 180 metres onto the broken rocks at the base of the cliff. Formerly known at Bridal Veil Falls this is the tallest single drop waterfall in the Mountains its on the bottom right hand side of this panorama and after the recent rain I returned once again and managed to accomplish this, this is one of my favourite lookouts in the Blue Mountains. We ventured down to manage to capture the waterfall, I am looking forward to doing the walk to the waterfall in the coming months. About The Grose River has cut a deep gorge through the area as it makes its way east towards the Hawkesbury River. Sheer sandstone cliffs standing hundreds of metres above the river make for spectacular scenery and can be viewed extensively from the Blackheath area, where there are a number of accessible lookouts, the best known being Govetts Leap. The valley can also be viewed from lookouts near Bells Line of Road and points outside Mt Victoria. Charles Darwin described the Grose Valley as “stupendous … magnificent” when he visited in 1836. In 1859 some of the first photographs in Australia were taken in the valley. At various times there were proposals for rail lines and dams but these have not proceeded. In 1931, the valley was the subject of one of Australia’s first forest conservation battles Within the valley, the Blue Gum Forest is one place that stands out from the rest of the valley. It consists predominantly of towering Blue Gum trees, with a thin understorey because the tall trees inhibit the growth of ground cover by blocking most of the sunlight. Protected by the Blue Mountains National Park, the forest can be accessed only on foot, with several trails from different parts of the Grose Valley and adjacent canyons meeting in the forest There are a number of walks through the valley, with various entry, exit points and valley arms offering a range of permutations to explore. A moderate-grade day walk covering approximately 10km in five hours starts at Perrys Lookdown and descends sharply to the valley floor. Crossing through a corner of the Blue Gum Forest, the track goes south through the Acacia Flat camp ground, following the Govetts Creek. Passing several abandoned campgrounds, the path forks at Junction Rock; the route to Govetts Leap was closed in October 2003, following a landslide, and was reopened in December 2007. In the other direction, along Govetts Creek, the route then starts a continuous climb towards the Grand Canyon, where it forks again; one track goes to Neates Glen, while the other is a steep climb to Evans Lookout. The general direction of travel is towards the southeast and this direction is recommended as the final climb at Evans Lookout is not as difficult as the ascent at Perrys Lookdown. Creeks in the valley are seasonal and highly polluted, and are known to cause gastrointestinal upsets. The walk is much more strenuous in summer due to the higher daily temperatures and there is also an attendant greater risk from bushfire. The valley has been affected by bushfires at various times, notably in 1982 and in November 2006. In particular the Blue Gum Forest was damaged by back burning. Owing to the harsh bushfires in 2006, the Blue Gum forest and other walking tracks in the valley have been closed to bush walkers to allow the regrowth of vegetation. It is unknown when it will be opened.

530 views as of 19th November 2009 Pulpit Rock stands as a Gardian in stone to the Grove Valley below and is located in the Blue Mountains National Park in NSW Australia. This view can be seen from the Govett’s Leap Lookout and is probably the most easily accessed lookout in the park. There are three levels of lookouts however the top one is wheel chair friendly with a steep but rewarding walk to the lower two spots. This image was taken on a foggy day with little sun. The fog rose enough for me to capture Pulpit Rock although the valley and mountains in the background are hidden from view. / /

Located in the Blue Mountains National Park at Blackheath. There are numerous walks from here, mostly circuit walks that can take in the Blue Gum Forest and Grand Canyon walks.

This is a view of the Grose Valley that I had never seen before because I had done this walk many times but never gone off on the detour that was signposted with a “No through track” sign. It is close to Evan’s Lookout just off the Grand Canyon walk in the Blue Mountains National Park, Australia. This is a 4 photo stitch job … more like 3 & a half. / I have a lot to learn about stitching but I thought it came out ok. This is the Grose Valley in the Blue Mountains National Park in Australia.
