South Wolgan Canyoning

The next morning, our ridge top campsite

James on the first abseil

Tom on the abseil - it's a bit of a squeeze!

At the junction we explore the other branch, which we have previously descended

James contemplates the impressive chamber

Lower down, James scrambling down slippery logs

More logs ... and a possible swim!

Yet another log to climb down...

...oh, and another one!

So far no more abseils until now. James enjoying the second abseil...

...but not looking forward to the cold water!

He manages to get only waist deep wet. The abseil continues over the next drop

It looks a beauty!

James belays me down this small waterfall, and then manages to rig an anchor to get himself down.

James demonstrating what happens to the log when you stand on it!

Canyon below the fourth abseil

We have lunch in this rainforest amphitheatre...

..and then head down the beautiful creek...

...to the next creek. James scrambling up the bouldery creek.

There are numerous tricky scrambles until the creek opens out for a bit. It then narrows again into this slot, which starts with an awkward scramble

James climbing up the boulder

The slot gets even narrower. There are two more waterfalls to negotiate, in a dark section, both quite awkward...

...before one final scramble out the top.
