Sun - 27-Dec-2026 4 - Canyon: 4 day after Christmas canyon trip
Onni and I are doing a 4 day trip from December 27 to 30th. The plan is to go to Newnes and walk/ride 10 km down fire trail (past starlight) and camp next to the Wolgan River. Then we will do 1 day canyon trips (little dingo, ball race, inverse, etc). If we get lots of people then we will split into groups that do separate canyons each day, or take a rest day if you want a lazier trip.
