Information

Follow Dendle Drive up Mount Zamia to Fred’s Gorge day use area. Have a bush picnic with a view from the top of the mountain. This site offers shelter sheds, toilets and drinking water.At the bottom of Freds Gorge, layers of cream coloured tuff line the lower cliff walls. Formed from volcanic ash, this rock is relatively soft and easily eroded. After heavy rain, gushing water wears away at the cliff ledge and causes large boulders and rocks to tumble into the gorge.Ever so slowly the waterfall is eroding away the cliff ledge and extending the length of the gorge!
