72132 Cudgegong River
Dunns Swamp, has a unique origin dating back to 1930 when the Kandos Weir was built. The damming of the Cudgegong River, intended to supply water to the Kandos Cement Plant, resulted in the creation of Dunns Swamp. The subsequent flooding around the area formed a haven for wildlife and a tranquil oasis for visitors. The stunning waterway is surrounded by ancient sandstone pagodas, lush forests, and diverse flora and fauna, contributing to the ecological significance of this World Heritage-listed site within Wollemi National Park.
