canyoning
Picture this. It’s Sunday, 9th of March. You could be doomscrolling, regretting last night’s overpriced pub feed, or wondering if this is the year you finally take up yoga. OR you could be out exploring Upper South Bowens Creek Canyon with us.
This beginner-friendly canyon has it all — narrow slots, short swims, ‘fun’ scrambles, and abseils. We’ll follow the ridge down to drop into the creek, warming up with some mild canyon before things get properly stunning. Expect deep, twisting constrictions, lush coachwood forests, and a mix of wading, sliding, and scrambling over boulders.
The exit? A classic climb, scramble and up to a fire trail.
Important:
You must have completed Abseil Skills 1 (AS1) to join this trip.
What to bring (besides your sense of adventure):
✔ Swimmers for under your wetsuit
✔ Old shorts or boardies (because canyoning is tough on neoprene)
✔ Lightweight rain jacket (extra warmth = extra fun)
✔ Closed grippy shoes (Volleys, sneakers — NO hiking boots!)
✔ Lunch, snacks, and 2L of water
✔ Change of clothes and a towel (unless you like that “damp all the way home” lifestyle)
✔ Sun protection
What we need from you:
Tell us what you’ve done outdoors recently, or what you want to get up to this year. Bonus points if you tell us whether water is wet (we’re taking a poll).
A spreadsheet to properly organise gear will be sent out next week. Please put what size wetsuit you’ll need below.
