| 7 Feb, Sat 8:00AM | Rocky creek canyon | ||||
| Grade:5/6 | Length | 6km | 250m | Sydney Branch | |
| Mark G. | |||||
  (Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) Rocky creek canyon is the classic canyon and is regarded as an entry level wet canyon as it does not have any abseils but does have several short swims with the longest being about 30 metres. The scenery in this canyon is unparalleled as its sculptured walls are regarded as the best you'll find anywhere. On this trip I plan to do the full length and climb up the exit track which means we won't have to double back and climb up the cascades. Participants should have the following gear, helmet, wetsuit, drybag, PFD if you are not a proficient swimmer. I have rated this a 5 because there are some tricky scrambles down cascades to negotiate and a rocky climb out at the end. rock scrambling and slippery conditionsLocation: Wollemi NP Map: Rock Hill 89312N Limit: 12.

| 14 Feb, Sat 8:00AM | Corkscrew Canyon~Upper Bowen creek south side | ||||
| Grade:4/6 | Length | 6km | 150m | Sydney Branch | |
| Mark G. | |||||
| (Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) Corkscrew canyon is in the upper section of South Bowen creek drainage system and is a relatively easyish canyon to do as it does not involved any abseils or long swims but rewards the curious hiker with stunning constricted passages, sculptured clifflines, gorgeous cascades and pools and the chance to see an area not all that often visited. Helmet, wetsuit, drybag and a PFD required for those who aren't competent swimmers. rock scrambling and offtrack Location: Wollemi NP Map: Mt Wilson Limit: 12. View |

| 28 Feb, Sat 8:00AM | Dargans Canyon | ||||
| Grade:4/6 | Length | 4km | 100m | Sydney Branch | |
| Mark G. | |||||
| (Updated Details) If you are relatively new to canyoning and you want a really fun one to do which doesn't involve abseiling then Dargans Canyon is hard to beat! There are a few shortish swims and some scrambling down short sections of tape which are fairly easy and then there's the exit! This involves a scramble up a tree with spikes which sounds difficult but really isn't! Of course I'll set up a safety line before we climb the tree. Participants will need a wetsuit, helmet, waterproofed pack and if not a competent swimmer, a PFD. rock scrambling and slippery conditions Location: Wollemi NP Map: Lithgow 89313S and Wollangambe 89312S Limit: 12.
