Careys Peak
Careys Peak is a peak in the Williams Range, part of the Mount Royal Range, located in the Upper Hunter region of New South Wales, Australia. At above sea level, it is one of the higher points in Barrington Tops National Park,〔Barrington Tops State Forests - map published by the Forestry Commission of New South Wales, 1980s〕 some north of Sydney. The peak is at the edge of the Barrington Tops plateau, within the declared wilderness of the World Heritage Gondwana Rainforests of Australia.
Wilderness streams, such as the Allyn River and Williams River rise nearby. On a clear day, the higher peaks of the Blue Mountains may be seen. And looking south east, the sands of Stockton Beach on the coast may be viewed. The scenic appeal of the area is well regarded. Particularly the large dark stands of rainforest and Snow Gum wilderness. Snow has been recorded here as early as Easter.〔Oliver Descoeudres - personal communication〕 Careys Peak is a popular camping and bushwalking destination. Many years ago, a skiing slope was cleared behind Careys Peak. It has since disappeared in natural bush re-growth.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:nXjUHM4HxeQJ:forums.ski.com.au/forums/ubbthreads.php%3Fubb%3Dshowflat%26Number%3D416040%26page%3D0%26fpart%3D6+&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=au&client=firefox-a )〕
The historic hut was built around the year 1934. It was crushed by a fallen tree in the 1970s. Rebuilt in 1973 and repaired again in 2007.〔Gloucester Advocate - 30 May 2007〕 Closing the four wheel drive tracks to vehicular traffic is said to slow the spread of invasive weeds, such as Scotch Broom, Mist Flower and Crofton Weed.
== Geology ==
The geology of the area includes Alkali Gabbro, a type of igneous rock. Careys Peak was a vent of the Barrington Volcano. During the Eocene Period, a large basalt flow covered most of the nearby plateau. Below are older Permian Granodiorites and Devonian-Carboniferous sedimentary rocks, such as mudstones, siltstones, minor conglomerates and limestones.〔New South Wales Rainforests - The Nomination for the World Heritage List, Paul Adam, 1987.
