Bushwalk Australia

Hello again everybody!

Was hoping to get some suggestions for a bush walk. Myself and a few mates have a weekend pencilled in October to do an 1-2 night hike and I wanted to include a canyoning part with it too. Although we have some good bushwalking experience, none of us are abseilers so it can't be a technical canyon. However we are all fit, travel light and up for an adventure!

So is there anywhere within a few hours of Sydney that can combine the two? Decent walk with a (wet or dry) canyon experience that doesn't need ropes?

Thanks very much in advance

Cheers

Dave

Not really a "hike" but you could just spend 2 days up around
Newnes plateau and do side trip visits to "Deep Pass Canyon", "River Caves Canyon", "Wolgan View / Dry Canyon / Noble's Canyon" which are all enjoyable 1/2 day or less trips involving canyons. Some might involve getting your shins wet but definitely no ropes. These are good introductory canyons. There's also "Bell's Grotto" but all I remember from that was the awful stench.

A weekend down at Bungonia incorporating the walk through the main canyon would be good fun.

There's also another non-technical trip suitable for mid-winter canyoning but maybe some people would consider it too sensitive an area to disclose...

Thanks Ferozious,

I'll check those ones out (fancy PM'ing the sensitive one now that you've teased me with its existence?!).

I guess because we can take our time, I was ideally hoping for an easy canyon that was some distance away - relatively hard to access and therefore uncrowded and remote.

Thanks again

Dave

Maybe this? http://bushwalkingnsw.com/walk.php?nid=719

I can't actually speak to the 'canyon' section of this, but I can say that cambage spire is very steep!
