The Devils Wilderness unfolds in a rugged embrace of sandstone cliffs and plunging gullies, a place where the Hawkesbury River's serpentine arms reach inland. It lies 30.9 km north-west of Glenmore Park, NSW (from Glenmore Park, NSW: bearing 325°T), and is situated 14.5 km north-north-west of Faulconbridge. Here, the air often carries the damp, earthy scent of ancient fern fronds and the sharp tang of eucalypt, a perfume that clings to the very skin. Sunlight, when it breaks through the dense canopy of scribbly gums and ironbarks, falls in fractured patterns, illuminating moss-laden rocks and the occasional flash of a kingfisher's electric blue wing. The terrain is a challenging mosaic of steep ascents and sudden drops, demanding a traveller's full attention, but rewarding it with vistas that stretch across a wild, untamed landscape, where the distant murmur of the river is a constant, soothing presence.
This untamed beauty has long been shaped by human hands, though the whispers of its past are often subdued by the rustling leaves. Indigenous custodians knew these lands intimately, their connection etched into the very contours of the earth, and the echoes of their stewardship can still be felt in the quiet reverence of the place. Later settlers, drawn by the fertile river flats, established farming and grazing properties, their efforts carving out pockets of cleared land that now stand in stark contrast to the surrounding wilderness. The local economy, while diverse, still draws heavily on the land, with a growing appreciation for its natural assets fostering a quiet tourism industry, drawing visitors to its walking tracks and scenic lookouts. The Devils Wilderness, in its enduring wildness, offers a profound sense of place, a reminder of nature's persistent power and the subtle, enduring stories held within its weathered sandstone.
