The river, of the same name, has cut a massive slice through the country over the millennia.&#160;&#160; A relatively easy walk takes you from the car park, along a creek valley and some spurs to the Lookout.

Some simple maths. 

Original TV was 576 lines.&#160; Rough estimate is it&#8217;s a 4:3 (4&#215;3) picture ratio, so the width, in pixels (px), would be 576*4/3 which is 768 (see footnote)
