Faulconbridge Point To Nepean River Junction

This section of the grose has been very popular day paddle after rain for packrafters from Sydney and surrounds over recent years. As the river levles can be easily found and it is a relatively short drive fro m Sydney, droping off the car at the exit point near Yarramundi on the drive upto the start. Then a 7 to 8 km walk down to the river. This section of river offers a true wilderness trip and some magnificent scenery presents itself in the deep sandstone gorges. The Grose River does drain of the residential areas of the upper mountains and some old coal mines and so we suggest only drinking the water from the creeks on the northern side There is some timber in the river, especially after the 2020 bushfires and floods. There  are a few grade 4 rapids in the section below Faulconbridge Point which should be inspected as well as many grade 2 and 3 rapids and a few play waves. Good rapids continue until 1 km upstream of Woods Creek where the white-water finishes. There are 6km of flat-water paddling to the finish point.
