Day 1: River Caves and Deep Pass Canyons, WNP (M/M/W 8km & 300m ascent track) A series of short, enjoyable strolls and scrambles through mostly dry canyons, with a great rock cleft to explore along with aboriginal paintings. No abseils, although you will get your feet (or more) wet in a few spots if you slip. A few climbs use fixed safety ropes. A helmet and slip resistant shoes are required.
Day 2: Wollangambe Two Canyon, Wollangambe River, BMNP, (M/M/W 10km & 500m ascent) A great introductory canyon which is traversed by li-lo, walking in shallow water and scrambling over boulders. We will stop to walk up side creeks to visit the lower reaches of Serendipity, Whungee-Wheengee and Waterfall of Moss Canyons. No abseils, although one short descent will be done with a safety rope. Each person will require their own cotton covered li-lo and wetsuit and should be confident in water over their heads.
Day 3: Grand Canyon, Upper Grose Valley, BMNP (M/M/W 7km & 350m) We will avoid the abseil by walking in and returning via the exit. A number of compulsory swims are required, one up to 30m. A wetsuit, helmet and slip resistant shoes are required.
Day 4: Birrabang Canyon, Upper Grose Valley, BMNP, (M/M/W) 8km & 350m ascent A great introductory canyon with no abseils or swims required, with scrambling you need only get wet to the top of your legs. A nice canyon and a spectacular gorge. A helmet and slip resistant shoes are required.
