Flat Rock in Upper Kangaroo Valley.

Gibson Creek flows into the Kangaroo River at a location called Flat Rock in Upper Kangaroo Valley. Gibson Creek & Kangaroo River flow throughout the year & are not affected by drought as they are fed by run off & natural springs from the surrounding sandstone plateau.

Flat Rock is a popular area for picnickers & those wishing to have a swim in the shallow waters on a hot summer's day. I took the coordinates on the western edge of Flat Rock standing at the point where the creek flows into the river. Flat Rock is quite expansive & both the river & the creek flow over it.

You can park just above the cement causeway over Gibson Creek or on Flat Rock itself. Don't drive over the causeway as the road ends & there is no where to turn around. The road (Upper Kangaroo Valley Road) leading to Flat Rock is well sign posted & sealed apart from the last four kilometres. Take it easy on this section as it is single lane & there are steep drop offs & rocky causeways.

There are a couple of geocaches hidden in the vicinity.
