Day 2
Looking down the first canyon for the day
Canyon formation
Higher up above the drop
Rich checking out the upper section of the creek
The yellow-faced whip snake that fell on me as I abseiled
Rich abseiling carefully to try and avoid the snake on the ledge below him!
Rich climbing back up the lower section of the canyon
Rich in the lower canyon
Rich climbing out on to the tops
Rich abseiling in the next creek
Canyon is rather open and a bit disappointing at this stage
Lower down it drops into a more interesting slot

Rich bridging to avoid a chest deep wade
On the way out, we check out the top section of one of the creeks we looked at from the bottom. It looks quite impressive...
...though you would hardly know there was even a canyon there, hidden under the bushes
