BLUE TRAIL 17: Around Londonderry Reserve, River Lett Catchment
The River Lett received its name when someone reading the 1814 survey notes made by Surveyor George W Evans did not pick up that he’d intended to write the word “rivulet”. It is a relatively short waterway with an eclectic series of landscapes along its course.
A few hundred metres downstream, the waterway filters lazily through a bed of reeds along the boundary of the Londonderry Reserve. Nearby is a property owned by the children of a woman who kept emus raised from chicks brought from Cobar.
