Above - Flash flood in Bungleboori Creek north branch. It was a fortunate decision to boil the billy again for a third cup of tea at lunch that meant we were not downstream in a narrow constriction when this storm hit. The creek went up several metres in a few minutes. It was later on this trip that we found Froth and Bubble Canyon. The same hailstorm had left the canyon walls coveed in froth and bubbles when we came across it the next day.

Above - Looking into Crikey Canyon. It had been discovered by a SUBW party not long before by the group reaching the valley at this section. Tony Norman looked down a hole and exclaimed "crikey, mother of god!" The creek was far below in a deep canyon tunnel. Crikey is regarded as the best of the Bungleboori tributary canyons.
