Party - Wendy, Dave
We spent three very enjoyable days canyoning in the Northern Blue
Mountains. The weather was quite cool - so we visited fairy dry
canyons on each day.
The photos are continued on page 2
and page 3
Day 1 - The Dry Canyon
We first set up camp at one of the campsites above the canyon. The
weather was threatening to rain.
Above - Lots of Hyacinth Orchids about near the Dry Canyon. Most,
like this, were Dipodium roseum
Above - Hyacinth Orchid - I think this is Dipodium punctatum

rock orchid is
Dry Canyon - Upper Constriction
Above - the canyon provided some shelter from the rain
Above - Wendy could stay still for this long exposure - but the fern
couldn't.
Dry Canyon - Lower Constriction
The rain created quite a nice atmosphere in the canyon -
softening the light for photography.
We then climbed out of the canyon between the two constrictions and
walked out towards the escarpment. On the way you can get some
amazing views of the end of the canyon.
Above - Back at camp, this frog visited us in the evening. It was
about 6 cm long.
