To argue that dammed water is not unattractive or sometimes even improves the landscape is ridiculous, for the associated construction sites, roads, power-lines, etc. are the real destroyers of beauty. (In a satellite photo I have of the whole of Tasmania, taken from about 3,500 km above the earth, not even Hobart shows as a blot on the green of the island, yet the construction roads to, and power-line clearing from, Lake Pedder show as huge scars even from that height.)

It is an area of spectacular scenery with huge cliffs close to the river, quite unlike the Grose and other Blue Mountain valleys. It is an area of real challenge, with no tracks, long distances. The river is still clean; drinkable, and well-stocked with fish. For we bushwalkers, faced with increasing petrol costs and the inevitable fuel shortages of the future, a wilderness area and ideal walking country so close to Sydney is especially attractive.
