This website is dedicated to the Colo river.
The Colo river is a well kept secret mainly known by locals and regular
visitors. The Colo river is special because it is a pristine and wild river on the border of
Sydney, only 1.5 hours (65 klms) from the centre of Sydney. The name "Colo" is derived from the aboriginal word for Koala.
The Colo river was one of the first rivers explored after white settlement of
Australia and has a long history that is of significance to the local
aborigines and the white settlers alike.
It is the home of bass and platypus. It is a great venue for
canoeing, bushwalking and swimming. The upper reaches of the Colo river
seldom sees visitors other than the occasional hardy bushwalker.
