Over the Australia Day weekend Scott, Jess, Catherine & I went canyoning in the Blue Mountains. We did South Bowen Creek (I think), which was a nice easy introduction for Jess & Catherine who hadn’t had the pleasure of Canyoning previously.<\/p>\n
There were a few abseils, including three into water, and one down a little waterfall. All in all a lovely day out.<\/p>\n
We spent Sunday relaxing at Scott’s parent’s house in Sydney, we swam, got takeaway and watched some DVDs (anyone remember what?).<\/p>\n
On Monday we headed out to the Spit Bridge, where we hired Kayaks and paddled up the river. It was a bit freaky for me, not being very comfortable with deep water, but I got over it. The weather was beautiful and the water was warm. Despite a few speeding speed boats, most of the big boats were wary of us and gave us room to move around.<\/p>\n
We stopped in a little bay for lunch which was nice. Unfortunately there was lots<\/strong> of rubbish and flotsam. But we cleaned it up and it looked a lot better when we left.<\/p>\n I used the rest of the film up on a hike with Mum, Dad & Ange in the Snowies. It was sad to see the burnt areas on the north of the Snowy river.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Over the Australia Day weekend Scott, Jess, Catherine & I went canyoning in the Blue Mountains.
