Bungonia Creek Canyon
Bungonia Creek is more of a gorge with a lot of creek walking between, over and under large boulders. There are about 4 abseils (35m, 12m, 60m, 45m). There are a few swims, up to 50 metres in length. There is a very steep climb out at the end of the canyon. This trip will involve a long day, and an early start. Camping fees apply for the campground if staying there. Park entry also applies for vehicles. Must be prepared to carry 60 metre ropes. A few of the longer swims are at the bottom of abseils and you need to feel comfortable getting off the rope, in water, and swimming across to land.
