Blue Gum Swamp

The Blue Gum Swamp is situated at Winmalee in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, Australia. Sometimes it is called the Blue Gum Forest, however, this may cause confusion with the more famous Blue Gum Forest further west in the Grose Valley. In the distant past, the valley floor was blocked. This caused a residual alluvial deposit, which resulted in relatively deep and fertile soils. The tall Mountain Blue Gums in the gully may reach 50 metres in height.
