Wollemi Creek Subcatchment
Wollemi Creek is in the central north of the Hawkesbury Nepean catchment.
The creek flows south to join the Capertee River in Wollemi Natinal Park to become the Colo River. Much of the subcatchment is protected as part of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area. Putty and Gibbs Creek valley floors have been cleared and riverbanks have been damaged as a result of historic agricultural land use and uncontrolled grazing. The areas are sparsely settled. Erosion in these creeks is contributing sediment to the downstream World Heritage Area. There is potential for private landholder involvement in managing the degradation of the riverbanks of Putty and Gibbs Creeks |
