Sunnyside (Acoustic) Canyon
This is a great canyon to do if all you want is easy day out in a beautiful part of the world or you’ve been climbing at the Awesome Sahara Point and want to chill at the end of your day of climbing.
Deathtrap Canyon
Day 2 of the annual Sydney North Region Canyoning Course and yet another canyon I hadn’t done before, with an end of day speed run through Twister.
Closet Canyon
Day 1 of of the annual Sydney North Region Canyoning Course. My group had been allocated Closet Canyon, which was great as I’d never done it before and being slightly remote it promised a good bit of off track walking and navigation.
Scatters, Luna Park and Bjelke's Mind Canyons

Breakfast and Rocky Creek Canyons
This was day 1 of the bi-annual Sydney North Region Canyoning Course - coordinated by Chris Stanley. On previous courses we’ve started from the Bell Heavy Vehicle Checking Station and then spread out all over the Bluies to do various Canyons - …
Yet another Twister and Rocky Creek Canyon trip. The second this summer!!! I can’t remember how many times I’ve done this canyon, but I’m always finding something new.
This is the inaugural Tambo Canyoning Trip.The twelve of us set off from the Rocky Creek Car park at 10:30am and after a leisurely stroll arrived at the start of Twister Canyon around 11:00am when Adrian discovered that he’d had a bit of a …
Galah Canyon
This trip started as the result of strange coincidences. When we did Twister and Rocky Creek the weekend before, Ian mentioned that a leader from Sailor’s Bay was going to do Wollangambe on the Sunday - which was cancelled due to water levels.
We originally planned this for the weekend prior but decided to postpone due to a forecast for rain. What a mistake - the Saturday ended up being OK and it rained pretty much continuously for the next week.
