Below is the list of bushwalks I have been on. There is a fair bit
of cross over with canyoning, so visit my list of canyoning trips as well. This
design is a blatant rip off of Danny Yee's bushwalking log so I feel obliged to put an
apologetic link to his site here.

Bob Turners Track:
Rachel and I walked in hoping to lilo the Colo despite there being a 5m flood. Perhaps unsurprisingly it was not to be! We blew up lilos, paddled out, and paddled back in about as quickly. No control at all. Still, impressive to see and to even venture out on. (report | photos | Bob Turners Track track notes)
