5 - Canyon
Galah canyon
Greg, Andrew and I will be doing Galah canyon. This canyon comes highly recommended with a spectacular abseil near the end and a dark swim. Some rope assisted scrambling on the exit (slide prussic as you scramble or we can belay you). It will be a longer day so we will start a bit earlier. Partially exploratory for the leader (I know the exit)

4 - Canyon
Gateway canyon Cancelled - Weather
Anna and I are doing Gateway canyon (little information on it). Much of the entry/exit is on the hole in the wall track. The canyon starts about 1.5 km from the end of the hole in the wall track, it has two abseils and finishes in Dingo Creek about 700 m upstream of the exit track (likely swims in Dingo Creek).
