Party - Chris, Suzie, Digi Dave, Dave N
This was the first of three days we spent in Wollemi National Park.
We left town on Thursday afternoon, and to the best of my knowledge
Wollemi National Park was open for activities such as canyoning. On
our return, I found that all National Parks were closed for walking
(but not for camping or certain commercial canyoning) due to extreme
fire danger. We camped in the bush on Thursday night. On Friday
morning, there was one other party in the Rocky Creek carpark, and
they told us that they had checked and Wollemi National Park was
open (according to the website).
Our trip was down Twister Canyon and then down and back up the same
way through Rocky Creek Canyon. It was quite a hot day - and we
spent most of the day in the canyon - a good place to escape the
heat. The other party went through Twister Canyon but only a short
way into Rocky Creek Canyon (strange? - perhaps they were too
cold?).
Below are selected photographs taken in Rocky Creek Canyon. The
lighting was very harsh and too contrasty for good photos. It was
difficult to avoid photographs with blown out highlights.
After camping at Barcoo Swamp, the next day, we headed out to visit
The River Caves Canyon
