Valley Of The Kings
The Valley of the Kings is a deep sandstone gorge on the northern side of Genowlan Mountain in the Mugii Murum-ban State Conservation Area. A small tributary flowing into Genowlan Creek has cut the valley through the sandstone plateau, creating steep cliffs topped with pagoda formations.
The gorge contains lush pockets of forest with large tree ferns growing beneath the cliffs. Water flowing through the valley has carved overhangs and small canyon sections along the creek.
The Valley of the Kings was named by Dr Haydn Washington in 1984.
Access through the gorge is limited by a series of waterfalls at the southern end. Entry is from the northern end of the gorge, a slot just south of The Sphinx and a gully at the south-eastern end just downstream of the first waterfall.
It's a lovely spot well worth the effort to get to.
