The Pondage

Comments:

The Pondage is a large basin surrounded by pagodas near Pt Cameron.

During heavy rain, water pools in the basin until it can drain away through The Pondage Canyon.

Large thickets of tea-tree and other shrubs form thickets in the sandy floor of The Pondage.

The thickets, which are slightly higher than the water-worn pathways through the basin, make sheltered sites for tents.

When it is raining heavily an overhang at the entrance to the canyon is a good alternative.
