Above - Asaph on the next abseil.
This abseil is known as the "Slipper Log" abseil. The log is now
gone - but was at the bottom of the drop for many years. It made the
abseil difficult - the rope would often catch on it.

waterfall

Above - below this starts the large boulder chute. It begins with a
short abseil - but to get to the start we had to walk through a
swarm of wasps!
The boulder chute requires care and some scouting to find the best
way through the boulders.
Above - the boulder chute ends with this short drop into a pool (
now a wade rather than a swim). Note the stinging tree on the right.
This drop is the last technical section of the canyon.
Above - the others arrive at the drop

Above - we then stopped for lunch. All the way down the boulder
chute - we had heard thunder. We had moved fast - as we thought it
wise to finish all the tricky terrain before any rain made the rock
slippery.
Above - continuing down the creek.
The rain hit us when we arrived at the Kanangra Creek junction. We
had heavy rain for all of our ascent up to Kilpatrick Causeway.
Above - on Kanangra Walls
Above - Kanangra Falls - now impresive after the storm
