Party - Stacey, Ben, Si Li, Asaph, Megan, Dave

We had originally intended to visit Danae Brook - but when we woke up on saturday morning - the weather at Kanangra was a bit uncertain. It was misty and it had rained overnight. We though that Kalang Falls may be a wiser option.

We then did a couple of short abseils (both of which can be walked around)
