Party: Steph H, Luke S & Neil H.
Grade: Easy, 1 long abseil, wetsuit advisable.
Track Notes: We started off the day in a failed search for a lost Aboriginal Axe in some remote undisclosed bush lands, then headed off towards Wentworth Falls.
Starting at the car park for the falls, we began our walk to the right of the car park (there is a quicker route to the left where the main tourists go, where the path then veers right). After about half an hour we came to the start of the canyon and put our wetsuits on. The canyon itself is very short but beautiful, it probably took us 15 mins to get to the abseil so next time I will take my time going through the canyon.
There are two anchor points one on the left and one on the right- the one on the right is usually where the commercial groups go and it is the best side to go down as you are directly in the waterfall. An overhang at the top begins the abseil then about 30m later you are at the bottom of the waterfall in a huge pool :) As it is a popular tourist walk/sight you will probably be cheered on by your spectators!
***Make sure that you go before or after 2-4pm as this is when commercial groups operate this canyon! ***
