Biggenden Billabong

You will soon see that along with pot­ter­ing around, study­ing and cre­at­ing art I love adven­tur­ing and explor­ing my local area.

My vil­lage, Biggen­den does­nt have much nat­ur­al water around.  It is sit­u­at­ed in a val­ley at the foot of “The Bluff” Mt Walsh also known as “Moth­er Moun­tain” which dom­i­nates the local land­scape.

Mt Walsh and the sev­en sis­ters moun­tains near­by split storm sys­tems and many go around Biggen­den and miss the area alto­geth­er.

When the rains do come, they flow in pow­er­ful stun­ning water­falls down the face of the bluff and into the “source” waters of the Isis and Bur­nett riv­er sys­tems.

Degilbo Creek is the source of the moth­er waters, along which a stun­ning eco sys­tem of wildlife and plants are sus­tained by the beau­ti­ful pure waters.  Along the creek are numer­ous water­holes or Bill­abongs which are teem­ing with crea­tures and vines stun­ning trees.

Just two kilo­me­tres from town is Pages Cross­ing where the nation­al trail and the old stage­coach trail cross­es the Degilbo Creek. This is the site of the old town­ship of Degilbo which is now moved 6 kilo­me­tres away.

All along the creek is dozens and dozens of gor­geous Pea­cocks, which were pets of the set­tlers who have now made their home in the creek.

and this is my secret spot, well not so secret now. 🙂

it is the place I go to swim, bush­walk, unwind, to relax, to med­i­tate, to for­age and to just be in the moment of nature.

It is a piece of mag­ick in this world, my world.
