Archived trip from old website run by RobertH
The plan! To do Bungonia Canyon.
Date: Sunday 15 November
Depart SRA at 6:45am, return to Canberra at 9pm. Dinner in Goulburn.
Canyon description:
Though the Bungonia area is famous for its limestone caves, Bungonia Creek Canyon and the other canyons cut through quartzite and similar rock. The creek is fairly open and in comparison to the northern Blue Mountains canyons it would be better described as a gorge. The abseils are all fairly large, particularly the 70m drop down Bungonia Falls.

Technical skills required:
As will all club canyoning trips, we will need to get the right mix of experienced members to non experienced members.To express an interest in coming in this trip please email me with the following information:
1: Prior abseiling experience including whether you will be comfortable with 60m abseils.
2: Prior canyoning experience (including with the ANUMC)
3: Whether you have a car we can use
Please email: Robertstuarthayes(at)yahoo(dot)com(dot)au
Note: this canyon has lots of rock hopping so suggest this one is not for you if you have knee problems
What to bring: Please refer to the recommended canyoing gear at: http://www.anumc.org.au/trips-weekly-events/trip-information
Wetsuits are required and can be hired from the gear store.
We will do the canyon as described at: http://ozultimate.com/canyoning/track_notes/bungonia_creek.htm
We will take the following exit: Walk down Bungonia Creek to Breton Creek and the Red Track, and exit up this. Note that Breton Creek flows down a narrow slot at the bottom, so keep an eye out for it. Then walk back along the Green Track, or via the roads, back to the campground
