Like Newnes, Glen Davis is an abandoned shale mining town and a
major canyoning area. It is not as popular as Newnes because it
is more remote. Many of the creeks that flow into the Capertee River
near and downstream of Glen Davis have impressive canyons. They
range from creeks that have long sections of very narrow, dark and
wet, horizontal canyon to those that have many (eg 14) abseils.
This area of the canyons is wilderness and it is fitting that they
are not described in detail.

Above - this canyon is also mainly horizontal - but is a lot wetter
- with many swims
Above - this canyon provides a good contrast - it is short and
vertical
Above - this canyon is longer but narrower. Very narrow indeed!

Above - Another canyon that features many abseils - perhaps more
than a dozen
