| 10 Jan, Sat 7:30AM | Wollangambe 3 canyon | ||||
| Grade:5/6 | Length | 12km | 300m | Sydney Branch | |
| Mark G. | |||||
    Many people have done Wollangambe 1 and 2 canyon sections, but have you ventured further down this magnificent watercourse because there are some superb sections of canyon to experience for the adventurous walker/canyoner. Included is a tunnel section, oodles of long and spectacular pools, cascades and rock formations and a strong possibility you'll have the whole place to yourself. Helmets, wetsuits, surfmats or lilos/donuts are essential and a PFD too if you aren't a good swimmer. Needless to say a canyon pack or drybag are also important to bring along as is a sense of adventure and fun. rock scrambling and rapidsLocation: Wollemi NP Map: Wollangambe 89312S Limit: 12. View |

| 24 Jan, Sat 7:30AM | Hobnail Canyon | ||||
| Grade:4/6 | Length | 7km | 150m | Sydney Branch | |
| Mark G. | |||||
| Hobnail Canyon is situated on Range creek and offers the enthusiastic canyoner a wonderful and spectacular exploration along a beautiful watercourse which doesn't include any abseils although there are a few short tape sections to negotiate into and out of the canyon, especially at the exit track on South Bowen creek.
Anyone attending needs to bring a helmet/wetsuit/drybag and PFD if you are not a proficient swimmer but you don't need a surfmat or donut as the swims are very short. This is a canyon well away from the insta crowd and one definitely worth doing. rock scrambling and offtrack Location: Wollemi NP Map: Mount Wilson 8930-1N Limit: 12. View |

| 7 Feb, Sat 8:00AM | Rocky creek canyon | ||||
| Grade:5/6 | Length | 6km | 250m | Sydney Branch | |
| Mark G. | |||||
 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 | Corkscreww Canyon~Upper Bowen creek south side | ||||
| Grade:4/6 | Length | 6km | 150m | Sydney Branch | |
| Mark G. | |||||
| 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 |
