Well I dusted off my wetsuit, found my whistle and once
again set off into the wilderness with Stephen. Most of the canyons these days
Stephen does with people much fitter than me. This weekend he made an exception
to take me on Serendipity Canyon and show me a new exit out of the Wollangambe.
On the way down to the start Stephen showed me where the
exit track met the main track. I seriously contemplated waiting there for him
but it would have put a serious dampener on the day. So off we trekked down the
side of Mt Wilson to the start of the canyon. The day was overcast so all the
greens of the canyon stood out well as we clambered, abseiled, climbed and swam
our way down the creek and waterfalls. The obligatory yabby was found and I
even went first down the two last abseils. It was great to be out in such a
beautiful part of the mountains.
Once we reached the Wollangambe Stephen has fun jumping off
the cliffs into the river. Then we watched the water dragons descend on us to
see if they could share our lunch. The trek out was ok, I just kept plodding
along. About 500 metres from the car we came across a group of 6 guys in their
20’s navigating with their smart phones. With limited gear and eskies they
planned on doing Wollangambe 1 & 2 and camping out overnight. Torrential
rain was forecast from tonight and the next two days, so I hope they made it
out.
