18 Jan, Sat 8:00AM				Twister and Rocky Creek Canyon
Grade:4/6		Length	6km	100m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
Twister Canyon is, without a doubt, one of the most fun canyons you can do without needing to abseil as it has multiple pools in which to jump and swim or, in places, scramble down. It isn't very long and usually takes about 3 hours and then runs into Rocky Creek Canyon. I plan to do Rocky Creek just before the big swim and reverse back up the canyon, depending on water levels. Participants must have the following, helmet, wetsuit, PFD and waterproof pack or inner bag. Rock scrambling on slippery rocks. Location: Wollemi NP Map: Rock Hill 89312N Limit: 12. View

This is one of my favourite coastal walks as it takes you past numerous beaches where a swim is definitely possible and also many interesting formations such as Ghosties Beach sea caves and the historical coal loader at CHB.

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

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
