Clatterteeth Canyon – 5 February 2017

Stu and Enmoore had organised a day of canyoning up the Blue Mountains. We didn’t decide what canyon to visit until the day. The forecast was for a very hot day (greater than 30°C), so we wanted a wet canyon without a big walk in or out. We ended up deciding on Clatterteeth Canyon which is a section of Du Faurs Creek at Mt Wilson.

In the party were Stu, Enmoore, Wendy, Roscoe, Davyd and myself. We set off from the fire Station at Mt Wilson and soon reached Du Faurs Creek and the start of our canyon.

On a hot day, a canyon like this with plenty of swimming or liloing was the perfect place to be. The canyon was a beautiful and the going mostly easy. I was the only one to bother taking a lilo, the others all swam.

On our way through the canyon, we stopped a few times for photos and to admire the canyon formation. And longer breaks for a snack and lunch.

We exited out a small side canyon that took us to the main track to the Wollangambe River from Mt Wilson.
