4 - Day Walk -
Adventures off Sunnyside Road Cancelled - Weather
We last did this about 10 years ago. No steep climbs and minimum exposure. We start at the car park on Fire trail six which is just past the Birds rock trail on Sunnyside ridge road. Although after reading Kate’s description of the state of Fire trail seven we might have to walk down from Sunnyside Ridge Rd and just do the red trace plus explore. What we do on the day depends on re-growth after the fires. Partly exploratory. Please advise what transport you have. Please refer to attached photos for details.

When we have finished eating there will be a video and slide presentation by John Murray on canyoning in Gloucester River in 2007. This will be followed by a canyon strategy game devised by Kirstie Wulf which should be a lot of fun. Following the presentations there will be time to discuss canyoning and meet new friends.

Tiger Snake Canyon
A classic winter canyon in the South Wolgan area, Tiger Snake is an excellent intermediate canyon, popular in winter due to its mostly dry conditions. Starting from the Old Coach Road car park, the walk-in is relatively short (~3km). The canyon features multiple abseils, narrow constrictions, and excellent sculpted sections. The lower constriction is deep, dark, and striking. Exit is via a steep but well-established track. This trip is suitable for competent canyoners (Club Grade 3) or those working toward competence with supervision. Please fill in the the form at the link below to request to join the trip. https://form.jotform.com/251991876365069
