Grade:4/6	Length	7km	200m	Sydney Branch

Sunnyside canyon is essentially a dry canyon although you might get wet feet. It is characterised by some amazing chambers along its length, with Acoustic being the biggest and most spectacular. As you enter the canyon there are some superb pagodas which are also worth exploring too, but the most stunning formation is along the cliffs to the west of the canyon itself. This rocky outlier is called Foxs Wedge and it is indeed a sight to behold! On this trip there will be plenty of time to explore the various nooks and crannies of the concentrated and fascinating location. rock scrambling/offtrack walking Location: Gardens of Stone NP Limit: 12.
