In the early 1900s the town of Kandos (between Lithgow and Mudgee) was established to support the development of a cement works. In the 1920s a dam was constructed across the Cudgegong River to create a reservoir that would provide permanent water for the cement works.
The reserviour became known as Dunns Swamp, and is a popular camping area under the management of the NPWS. The Kandos Cement Works ceased operation in 2011, but the “swamp” continues to provide great recreation facilities.
We spent a lovely 3 days kayaking, walking, swimming and enjoying the area. We were there mid-week so we had the place virtually to ourselves. We left on Friday , and are now just a short distance away at Gulgong (north of Mudgee).
