Bowens Creek lies between Mt Wilson and Mt Tomah so it is not surprising that it has long sections of canyon. The best canyon sections are to be found in the long south branch.
On this trip, being early in the season, we visited the upper section of the south branch. This section is long and spectacular and is good to visit in cooler times such as early or late in the canyon season as it has no major swims. This contrasts to the middle and lower parts of the creek which both have many swims.
The best way to see the canyon is to start high up. Very high up. This means a scrubby walk to the creek. But once in the creek bed the going is very easy – with long sections of canyon and few slow parts.

Love the red of Rik’s shirt against the mass of green ferns and the log shimmy is a great fun shot.
