9 May, Sat 8:00AM			Sunnyside Canyon, the Acoustic chamber and Foxs Wedge
Grade:4/6	Length	7km	200m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
Sunnyside canyon is essentially a dry canyon although you might get wet feet. It is characterised by some amazing chambers along its length, with Acoustic being the biggest and most spectacular. As you enter the canyon there are some superb pagodas which are also worth exploring too, but the most stunning formation is along the cliffs to the west of the canyon itself. This rocky outlier is called Foxs Wedge and it is indeed a sight to behold! On this trip there will be plenty of time to explore the various nooks and crannies of the concentrated and fascinating location. rock scrambling/offtrack walking Location: Gardens of Stone NP Limit: 12.

A steep but rewarding walk with views of the district. By starting early we hope to avoid the crowds. The steepest section is now a gentler zig-zag.

We will take a short break on the way up and then have a more extensive break just below the peak on the way down – celebrating all mothers. Bring your own cup and some extra water and the leader will provide hot drinks. Morning tea to share would be great. Lunch back at the cars. Limit:12 - preference given to Mothers, new members and those who have never been to Pigeon House before. A series of ladders at the top with railings and resting platforms, plenty of encouragement for those queasy with heights. Location: Morton NP Limit: 12. View
