We'll drive u p to the Newnes Plateau from Canberra on Friday at midday (at least 5 ho urs drive ) to camp at Barcoo Swamp for one night. On Saturday morning e arly, we'll hike along an old (possibly overgrown) track for 5km to set up a basecamp for 2 nights from where we'll do three canyons as day trip s - Heartattack (Saturday), Surefire (Sunday) and Spiral (Monday). If ho wever, we all get to Barcoo early we can go to the trail head and start walking the 5km to a camp. We'll drive back home to Canberra Monday afte rnoon. Participants need to have canyoning experience (eg participation in the recent CBC canyon program) and good fitness. They need to organis e their own wetsuits and equipment - eg harnesses, helmets, devices, whi stle, and safety lines/slings. Equipment hire available through the club or ask the leaders. Given single rope technique will tend to be used - figure of 8 like devices preferred. No ATC descenders please. Because of the long drive to/from Newnes Plateau, we'll be car-pooling. Around 620 km roundtrip, at 45c a km, around $280 a car. The leaders are also charg ing a rope/tape use fee - $3 per per person per day per rope and $2 per day for any tape/maillons used. Note that start and finish times do not include travel times to/from Canberra. We'll stop in Taralga for dinner on the way home to Canberra.
