8 Feb, Sat 8:00AM				Birrabang Canyon
Grade:4/6		Length	7km		Sydney Branch
Mark G.
One of my favourite fun and easy canyons to do is definitely Birrabang! There are no abseils and only a couple of very short swims under 15 metres, some of which you can avoid by climbing around. It has a few lovely cascades and as a bonus has some truly spectacular pagodas as you walk out via the exit track. Participants should bring a helmet and a wetsuit, as although there aren't many swims, the water you wade through is cold. Rock scrambling and short swims. Location: Blue Mountains National Park Map: Mt Wilson Limit: 20. View

8 Feb, Sat 8:45AM				Mt Kuring-gai and Apple Tree Creek
Grade:5/6		Length	10km	450m	Southern Sydney Branch
Paul L.
(NEW!!!) Starting and ending at Mt Kuring-gai, includes Apple Tree Creek and Bay and adjacent creek. There is a section of off track walking down to Apple Tree Creek and the creek itself has no track. The creek has a gorge and waterfall, a boulder field and clear bedrock sections. The creek mouth is in a tidal mangrove at the back of Apple Tree Bay. The reward for getting through the mangroves is the coffee shop may be open at the boat ramp. The return to Mt Kuring-gai is by a track that follows an old water pipe from Apple Tree Bay to the maintained track from Mt Kuring-gai to Cowan Creek. An additional creek canyon will be walked through. From the track to Cowan creek we turn off and off track to the creek and then down the creek to join the Berowra to Mt Kuring-gai track. Hazards include slippery surfaces and rocks. Multiple creek crossings. Thick scrub off track. High tide in mangroves (low tide at 12:45). Location: Mount Kuring-gai Map: Hornsby 91304S Limit: 12.

22 Feb, Sat 8:00AM				Dumbano Tunnels and Suboir Canyon
Grade:3/6		Length	6km	100m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
On the vastness of the Newnes Plateau is a vast array of canyons and this is one of the easiest ones to access! There is no swimming, and in fact, you can do this walk into and through the Dumbano Tunnels and the Suboir Canyon without getting water over your ankles. What you'll encounter is a world of spectacular and quite often dark tunnels or dungeons as they have been called before, with very close canyon walls, stunning overhangs and relatively little thick bushbashing. This is seriously a grade 1 canyon in difficulty, but grade 5 in beauty! Rock scrambling and off-track. Location: Wollemi NP Map: Wollangambe 89312S Limit: 12. View
