| 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 |
