Goochs Crater (AMPHITHEATRE), NSW Details

Description

An ampitheatre located on a tributary of Wollangambe River 7.5 km NE of Clarence Trig. Station and 6 km NW of Wollangambe Crater in the locality of Newnes Plateau. A unique crater like swamp feature ringed by deeply undercut pagodas roughly oval in shap approx. 105 m long by 65 m wide at the northern end narrowing to approx. 35 m at the southern end. The northern end slopes steeply and evenly to the ridge top above the crater. The sides are formed by the vertical walls of deeply undercut pagodas varying from 20-30 m high. The southern end is formed by what appears to be the remains of a collapsed pagoda. The swamp itself has typical sedge vegetation and associated plant communities.

Origin

Named in memory of Nicholas Andrew Gooch (dob 28.3.1947 - dod 18.7.2003) who originally discovered the feature in 1978. The name has become widely known by the bushwalking fraternity Australia wide. (Source: Rae Gooch Springwood Bushwalking Club members).
