Smiffy abseiling
Rich climbing down - the rest of us abseiled as there was a jump at the bottom
Smiffy abseiling another drop
Rachel waiting at a multi-stage drop lower down. The small pool was just narrow enough for those with long legs to bridge...
...however, Rachel fell in! This is the lower part of the drop
Rich on the final abseil
Rich climbing out the pass
Rachel headed back to the bags, while Smiffy, Rich and I headed off to check out another creek. Smiffy on the first abseil of our second canyon
Rich on the same abseil
Smiffy on the second abseil
Looking back up the canyon
This was the second abseil from below
The canyon ended and we climbed out the same pass as earlier. On the way back, we found these sawfly larvae crossing Rachel's footprint
More ominous - is Rachel being tracked by this dingo?
