3 - Canyon -
Serendipity Canyon - Mt Wilson
The canyon has up to 6 abseils, the longest 20 metres. There is one 6 metre water jump for the keen. Most abseils are fairly straight forward, but at least one has an awkward start. You can expect to get wet in the waterfalls and there are a few swims in the lower section. There is a pleasant creek walk for 45mins in the middle section of the canyon. Wetsuits need only put on for the lower section. The canyon finishes at the Wollangambe River where we scramble along ledges 100m to the exit point. There is an early exit point, just before the 4th abseil, if water levels are high. This canyon is suitable for beginners, but you must be able to swim and be comfortable abseiling in the waterfall. Grade 3 and 4 given preference.

4 - Canyon -
Long Gully Canyon - Bungonia
Long Gully, near Bungonia, consists of 9 abseils ranging from 10m to 60m with four being 20m or more. It is usually a dry canyon, but can be slippery after rain, and you may get wet to your knees in one or two spots. There will be plenty of loose rocks around the abseil points so care will be needed. The trip will be about 10 hours, but we can reduce that if we have 4wd's, and the track is not too wet to drive to final carpark. It will be a 2.5 klm walk to final carpark if unable to drive. Grade 3 may apply for this trip. Walkie Talkies will be used on this trip. Very steep exit walk.
