Day 3
Day 3 - Canyon 1
We headed off to check out another nearby creek. Canyon formation high up in the creek
Rich in the canyon
Sue
Unfortunately the canyon opened out into a neck, and we had head high ferns to wade through...
... as well as large swathes of raspberry to avoid! Don't fall Rich!
Rich climbing through a hole at a massive boulder blockup - note the raspberry
Below the block up, Sue climbing down through another hole
Rachel and Sue - the creek below the boulder block up was a nice steep gorge, but not canyon
It finished with this pretty waterfall, which we were able to walk around
Day 3 - Canyon 2
After returning to camp, Rich, Rachel, Sue and I went off to explore a couple of nearby creeks. Rachel in the first creek that we were trying to use as a pass. It turned into canyon

After some scrambling in the top of the canyon, we make it out on to the ridge
