Grade:3/6		Length	6km	100m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
(Fully Booked) 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
