The Festival of Canyons is an annual event organized by UTS Outdoor
Adventure Club. This year the Festival was held at Newnes in the Wolgan
Valley. The weather forecast was unseasonal - cold conditions, a shower
or two, and the possibility of snow and sleet. The weather did turn out
to be less than ideal for canyoning - but all present had a good time
and visited some nice canyons.
Day 1 - Saturday 22 November - Newnes Canyon
Party - Albert, Kim, Martin, Steffy, Rosa, Helen, Duncan, Rob, Magda,
Alejandro, Rik, Mark, Dave, Sharon and 3 others from UTSOAC.
