Party: Matt, Mark & Steph
Grade: Easy/Beginner- no abseils but wetsuit advisable as lots of swimming
Track notes:
This is a fairly popular canyon with many beginners. It's also great for a hot summers day and for just a bit of fun as there are no abseils so you don't need to worry about bringing a rope and there are lots of jump-in's and swimming involved.
The track starts at the Rocky Creek carpark, where after 100m there is a smaller track to the right. Following this track for about 10 minutes you reach the start point where you put on your wetsuit.
There are about 3 places you need to either climb down or jump- however the 3rd and final one you have to jump and it is about 3m high. There is then a fixed line where you can climb down to the right hand side (so pack a small 10m rope just in case it is gone!)
After this final jump you have reached the end of Twister canyon and there are lots of big boulders to climb down. You reach a T intersection in the mountain, where you turn right to go down Rocky Creek and left to go up back to the car park.
Rocky Creek is also a fun canyon but it is much more beautiful than Twister. Once we reached the end of Rocky creek (where the creek started to dry up) we turned around and came up back up it- then turned right at the T intersection to get back to the cars (about a 20-30 minute walk up a steep hill).
