High up in the creek it goes through a pretty gorge

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?
