Description
The walk to the Nyanba Gorge lookout has three stages. At the first lookout you have views of fast-flowing Myanba Creek. Follow the creek if you choose to keep on walking – it’s a moderate walk that's well worth the effort with the numerous torrents and cascades. The third lookout rewards your efforts with views of the remarkable geology of Myanba Gorge and Bega’s pretty Towamba Valley. Return to the picnic area the way you came, listening out for distinctive ‘creaky gate’ calls of Gang-gang Cockatoo. Among the other birds you can observe in the area are White-eared Honeyeater, Striated Thornbill, Wedge-tailed Eagle, Black-faced Monarch, Satin Flycatcher, Lewin's Honeyeater and Southern Boobook.
