DESCRIPTION
Serendipity Canyon – Grade: Moderate
8:00 am – 5:00 pm
After a 1/2 hour easy grade bush walk a 15 meter abseil takes you to down to creek level and it’s lush temperate rain-forest.
As you progress along the creek via a series of abseils up to 20 metres high you will find the canyon walls gradually begin to rise up each side of the creek.
After a magnificent tunnel section you will arrive at the beautiful Wollangambe river. Then it’s time for a late lunch and a play in the warmer waters of the main river, before a casual one hour walk back to the car.
