16 Dec, Sat 8:00AM Deep Pass Canyon and Split Rock
Grade:4/6 Length 5km  100m Sydney Branch
Mark G.
Canyon | A trip through a canyon (a gully surrounded by tall cliffs).Walk | A bushwalk of any kind short or longSwim | A trip that involves swimmingSlow pace | A trip where the leader will set an easy pace.(Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) Deep Pass Canyon is quite possibly the easiest wet canyon you can do and you can normally manage to stay dry for most of of this trip if you are agile. Even then you'll only normally get wet up to your waist. There are no abseils but there are quite a few places where you need to haul yourself up short length ropes. Along the way you'll encounter many small and stunning waterfalls and cascades where a swim is certainly worthwhile experiencing! Before the canyon we will do a short sidetrip to the impressive Split Rock which has some interesting tunnels within its imposing structure. Rock scrambling and slippery bits.

The literal highlight is a daytrip from our campsite to the top of Mt Jagungal, arguably Kossies most charismatic peak!

Mark G.
Walk | A bushwalk of any kind short or longSwim | A trip that involves swimmingPublic Transport | There are public transport options to and from this activity.Glenbrook Gorge is truly a spectacular place and within its imposing sheer walls is a watercourse of great beauty with many swimmable pools and cascades to savour on a warm summer's sunny day! The last time I did this walk was in August when it was too cold to swim but hopefully we will be able to go for many a dip as we make our way down the gorge. The trip route/plan is  to climb up to Portal Lookout and descend via Tunnel View Track. However, if it's going to be a hot day I'll simply return via the way we came, reversing our way back up the gorge. Rock hopping.

Swim | A trip that involves swimmingWalk | A bushwalk of any kind short or longPublic Transport | There are public transport options to and from this activity.Waterfall Station - Kangaroo Creek - Karloo Pools - Karloo Track - Heathcote Station. Kangaroo Creek is, in my opinion, the most beautiful and wild watercourse in the Royal National Park and is blessed with so many swimmable pools that it makes a perfect walk to do in summer. I plan to swim in a number of these and the hotter it is, the more swimming I'll be doing as we make our way down to Karloo Pool. Rock hopping along the creek on a rough track.

Grade:4/6 Length 5km  100m Sydney Branch
Mark G.
Canyon | A trip through a canyon (a gully surrounded by tall cliffs).(Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) Dargans Creek canyon is an excellent relatively easyish canyon for those who have done a few canyons before such as Birrabang as it doesnt have any abseils involved. It does have a few short swims and there is a climb out up a tree with spikes. Of course I'll bring a tape and I'd like people attending to wear a helmet and bring a wetsuit too. I have spare helmets for those needing one.Due to the few short swims,you should bring a PDF if you are not a confident swimmer. scrambling on slippery rocks and a few short swims.

Canyon | A trip through a canyon (a gully surrounded by tall cliffs).Walk | A bushwalk of any kind short or long(Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) River Caves Canyon is almost certainly one of the very easiest canyons to do because you barely get wet feet and you have zero abseils or swims.
